Kilpatrick's deer mouse or Kilpatrick's deermouse (Peromyscus kilpatricki) is a small species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. It is a species of the genus Peromyscus, a closely related group of New World mice often called "deermice". It is native to mountainous regions of Michoacán, Mexico. It is found in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine–oak forests in mesic forest habitats dominated by pine and oak at elevations above 1,600 meters.[1] The species can be found in micro-habitats associated with rocky outcrops and fallen trees. The species is named after Dr. C. William Kilpatrick, curator of vertebrates at the University of Vermont Natural History Museum.[2] The holotype of this species is part of the Natural Science Research Laboratory collections at the Museum of Texas Tech University.[3]
