Head-body 203-266 mm, tail c.48 mm; weight 200-720 g. Male Altai Zokors are larger than females. Color varies from gray-straw-rust with cinnamon tinge to ocher-rust-gray with grayer tinge. Snout and forehead are lighter. Pelage is denser in winter than summer. Tail and feet are covered in dense gray-whitish yellow fur. Young are grayer than adults. Diploid number is 2n = 44.

|
||
Forest steppe, meadow steppe, and farmland. Altai Zokors live in areas with shrubs and occasional forest but are absent in dry steppe, stony areas, and core forest. They are present in the Altai Range and surrounding areas and the Tarbagat Range at elevations up to 2750 m. They dig burrows in areas with soft meadow soil and grasses and are often found in meadows ofriver valleys. Although surface temperatures vary wildly in its distribution, burrows exhibit milder annual variation. Soil temperatures at depths of surface tunnels vary from -9°C in winter to 23°C in summer, but deeper chambers stay at 1-10°C.

Altai Zokors mate in September—-November and until March-April. One litter is produced per year with 1-10 young/litter, usually 3-5 young. Sexual maturity occurs at 7-8 months of age.

|

Altai Zokors live underground except during dispersal of juveniles and occasional aboveground foraging bouts. Burrows are complex, with up to 150 m of tunnels, and go as deep as 40-110 cm. Separate storage, nest, and toilet chambers are found in lower areas, while feeding tunnels are at depths of 5-27 cm. Burrows have separate temporary nests and permanent winter nests. Predators include the Steppe Polecat (Mustela eversmanii), foxes, and raptors.

|
||
Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List and the 2016 China Red List. Altai Zokors occur in some protected areas. Several populations appear to be declining and becoming more isolated. K. Tsytsulina in 2008 indicated that it should be considered near threatened in some parts of its distribution. The Altai Zokor was historically hunted forits pelt, but this has grown less common. It can be a pest of crops, especially tubers and alfalfa, and is subject to control measures.
