Palmer's chipmunk (Neotamias palmeri) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae, endemic to Spring Mountains in southern Nevada.

[5] Palmer's chipmunk is found only in the Spring Mountains of Clark County, southern Nevada.

[6] This species has been found to have the highest abundance within white fir and mixed conifer dense region of the Spring Mountains.

[2] Palmer's chipmunks typically prefer ground habitats as opposed to living off the forest floor in trees.

This species is determined to be omnivores, they are known to eat local fruits, grass, insects, fungus, and the seeds of other conifers.

Typical predators of the chipmunk are red-tailed hawks, rattlesnakes, coyotes, raccoons, long-tailed weasels, as well as feral cats and dogs.

This group feeding technique shows that Palmer's chipmunks have better chances of survival in higher numbers, as they can warn each other of danger.

[2] Nests are most commonly built on the ground, typically underground in burrows, but can occasionally be found in trees.

In late spring to early summer, female chipmunks have litters of 3 or 4 pups which are born hairless.
