starts withIt occurs in several countries in South and Southeast Asia, including Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. In 2010, it was documented in Laos for the first time. It has been documented at a range of elevations from 308–2,710 m (1,010–8,891 ft) above sea level.
As of 2008, it is listed as a least-concern species by the IUCN. It meets the criteria for this designation due to its large geographic range and presumably large population size. Additionally, it is unlikely to be experiencing rapid population decline. The IUCN listed no major threats to the species, but the first record of it in Laos was an individual sold as bushmeat at a market.
