Lemmings will migrate when their food supply is used up. The cycle averages about 3.8 years. Lemmings will change their location twice a year in spring when the snow is melting. Lemmings will migrate in autumn when there is population density.
- Area: Only in the Arctic tundra. During the summer collared lemmings live on the high, dry areas of the tundra. They hideaway under the rocks. During the winter they migrate. The collared lemmings move to lower meadows where there is more snow.
- Diet: In summer their main foods are tender shoots of grasses, shrubs and trees. During the winter they eat bark of a tress and twigs off willow and dwarf birch another way of saying it is (Betula pumila).
Due to its home being in snow and ice, it sports some very enlarged claws in the centre nails of its front feet. In the winter there fur turns white but in the summer it turns in to the a regional colour in mating season, as u can see:

∙ 11y agoNo, ring-tailed lemurs typically remain within their home range and defend it. However, their activity in the spiny forest is less studied and they may move throughout the year based on resource availability.

∙ 13y agoAll lemurs travel in trees, but some species, such as the ring-tailed lemur, spend as much as 33% of their time on the ground.
Some recently extinct giant lemurs may also have spent a lot more of their time on the ground when traveling from tree to tree, yet their skeletons still suggest that they were adapted to feeding in trees.
