The Panamint chipmunk (Neotamias panamintinus) is a species of rodent in the squirrel family, Sciuridae. It is endemic to desert mountain areas of southeast California and southwest Nevada in the United States. [1]
It is considered a species of least concern on the IUCN Red List due to its broad range, prevalence, and no known major threats. [1] The Panamint chipmunk occurs in pinyon pine- juniper woodlands in bushes, boulders, and on cliffs. [1]
Environmentally, the Panamint chipmunks are a prey species that contributes to the diets of their predators, including birds, raptors, coyotes, foxes, and bobcats. [2]
