Norway Lemmings migrate when the local population becomes too great to sustain the needs of the mouse like creatures. They actually "migrate" to an area with better food supplies.
A Leap of Lemmings! NOT SLICE
lemmings live in Northern Canada and hide in tiny snow burrows.
There is no term to describe a group of lemmings. This is because they are normally solitary animals and do not travel in groups or packs.
They are small animals like rats
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 lemming migration is a fact. Lemmings are small rodents that migrate in large groups to find new food sources or establish new territories. The myth part comes from the misconception that lemmings commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs, which has been debunked.
Lemmings, Arctic Hare, Arctic Fox, Caribou
Only when they swarm/migrate en masse and run into the ocean.
Lemmings migrate in large groups in search of new habitats.
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.
