Lemmings do not intentionally run off cliffs. The myth that lemmings commit mass suicide by running off cliffs is not true. This behavior may be due to population fluctuations and migration patterns, where some lemmings accidentally fall off cliffs while following the group.

Why do lemmings commit suicide?

Lemmings are herbivores. When they reduce the availability of the grasses that they eat, they move on. The "overgrazing" is the result of their food supply no longer supporting their population. They look for other areas that have enough food to support them. The increase in their numbers attracts predators. Those animals help reduce the population of lemmings. There is no mass suicide run.


Do you have any ideas for a fable?

Begin with a moral and work backwards # eg. 'Truth is often what you are told, not what you are taught.' # Think of a recipient and a source; in terms of animals that have the stereotype that would match the characters required. # What about Lemmings for the recipients # What about a Fox for the source. # Consider the situations that might illustrate the moral in terms of these animals and their stereotypical characteristics. One spring day in the high arctic when the population of lemmings was exploding along with seasonal abundance of the tundra plant life, a Fox endeavored to take advantage of the surplus and began chasing the small rodents about, eating up as many as he could catch. In the midst of his hunting the lemmings fell into groups and in their running terror stampeded over the cliffs to drowned in the sea below. Reports of this unrighteous slaughter were carried to the people who inhabited the sheltered bay of the tundra by the gulls and ducks that frequent the arctic in the summer. When these people confronted the fox over his cruelty the fox protested saying that mass-murder lust was not a part of his mentality and that Lemmings were want to run about on their own and did often scurry off of cliffs as part of their own simple herd mentality. And these people carried the foxes story to the rest of the world to be believed by all as none there were to discredit it.
