Kas puna-kabeoravad on ajalooliselt olnud kõvad kabetajad või millest see nimi on tulnud, seda ma kahjuks ei tea. Küll aga on teada, et tema peamine levila ulatub Bhutanist Taiwanini ning lõunas Malaisiani. Teda on sisse toodud ka Euroopasse, kus näriline on aga muutunud kahjuriks ja hakanud kohalikke oravaid välja suruma. Foto on tehtud siiski kabeorava looduslikus levilas - Taichungi pargis, Taiwanis.
Pallas's squirrel can be found in much of South-East Asia, from Bhutan to Taiwan and Malaysia to the south. Populations have been introduced also in Europe where it's considered an invasive species, as it can outcompete native squirrels. The photo, though, was taken in its natural habitat - in Taichung Park, Taiwan.
