The colorful ring-tailed mammals of Asia are red pandas. They have a distinctive ruddy coat color with a ringed tail marked by alternating red and buff rings. Red pandas live in high-altitude temperate forests across the Himalayas and other high mountains in countries including Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, Myanmar, and Tibet. Their striking coloration helps them camouflage in their natural habitat among the reddish-brown moss and lichens on tree branches.
Other mammals with ringed tails and distinguishing features include binturongs (bearcats), which are blackish with a bushy prehensile tail but not particularly colorful, and ring-tailed lemurs which are native to Madagascar, not Asia.
Thus, for colorful, ring-tailed mammals native to Asia, red pandas are the prominent and fitting example.
