A group of lemmings is called a colony. Lemmings are small rodents found in the Arctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia.
A group of lemmings is called a "plague." Lemmings are small rodents that are known for their periodic population explosions and mass migrations. During these migrations, large groups of lemmings move together in search of food and suitable habitats.
The story of lemmings leaping off of cliffs to drown in the sea is kind of an exaggeration. They will do this is they are chased or herded (what creature wouldn't). They don't do it spontaniously.
The main food source of Snowy owls is lemmings, a type of small rodent that is abundant in their natural habitat. Snowy owls primarily hunt lemmings year-round, but they may also eat other small mammals, birds, and fish when lemmings are scarce.
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.
Lemmings do migrate, which is a fact. However, the popular misconception that they commit a mass suicide while migrating is a myth. When lemming populations grow out of control, lemmings will migrate, usually across a river, to another area. Though lemmings can swim, the mass quantities with which they migrate cause most of them to drown while migrating. Lemmings do not do this voluntarily.
Lemmings, Arctic Hare, Arctic Fox, Caribou
Only when they swarm/migrate en masse and run into the ocean.
a lemming migration is when lemmings which are a type of rodent leave where they were living and move somewhere else. they migrate twice a year in spring and Autumn! Lemmings live mostly in the northern hemisphere.
They are birds that arctic foxes eat.
they know when to migrate because of the weather and the food decreasing
I don't know that's why I'm asking you peeps
Try Lemmings Universe.
No, there are no lemmings in Antarctica.
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.
Yes. Lemmings are in the family of mammals known as rodents. The family name is Rodentia.
No. You will find lemmings in the tundra, and Alberta is too far south of the tundra to have any lemmings.
