Their diet consists of mostly seeds, fruits, nuts and ginger nectar. Like most squirrels they live in forest areas usually in groups.

They are small bodied with stripes running from their nose to their neck and a second set that run the length of their body to their tail. The stripes range in color from yellow to brown cinnamon. Small tufts of white fur can be seen on the tips of their ears. They have dense fur to accommodate for the high elevation where they live.
