Lemmings do not intentionally jump off cliffs in large numbers. The misconception likely originated from a Disney documentary in the 1950s that staged lemmings jumping off a cliff for dramatic effect. In reality, lemmings may accidentally fall off cliffs while migrating or seeking food, but they do not exhibit mass suicidal behavior.

Yes, rodents that jump off cliffs, like the bighorn sheep, have specific adaptations to survive such extreme behavior. These adaptations include specialized hooves for gripping rocky surfaces, strong leg muscles for powerful jumps, and keen eyesight to navigate their surroundings.
Yes, animals that jump off cliffs often have adaptations such as strong wings for gliding, specialized limbs for climbing, or a keen sense of balance to help them survive such risky behavior. These adaptations help them navigate the dangerous terrain and land safely after jumping.
No, it is not appropriate for a Mormon to engage in jump humping.

Lemmings are small rodents found in Arctic regions. They are known for their mass migrations and occasional "mass suicides" where large groups of lemmings will jump off cliffs en masse, though this behavior has been largely debunked as myth.
The lemming is often associated with the myth of jumping off cliffs in large numbers. However, this behavior is not based on factual evidence; lemmings do not intentionally jump off cliffs in mass suicides.
all i know is there always stupid and sometimes jump off cliffs for no reason
Yes.... It is a fallacy that lemmings commit mass suicide during migration. They do migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. Lemmings can swim and will often choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat. On occasion, the lemmings are pushed into the sea by the pressure of more lemmings arriviving on the cliff-top or shoreline. Sometimes (particularly in the case of Norwegian lemmings) large migrating groups will reach a cliff overlooking the sea. They will stop until the urge to continue forces them to jump off the cliff and start swimming, sometimes the distance is too far, resulting in exhaustion and subsequent death.
#1: only under the influence of alcohol #2: or because they saw Heidi Montag's new look. #3: Because there is a body of water at the bottom that they plan to swim across. Hunh, not as stupid as you thought are they?
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.
To get away from predators.
they jump off cliffs and die
You can only jump down cliffs unless you have a walk through walls code for action replay.
No. When they jump off cliffs they aren't actually flying, they are falling.
