Lemmings: Dispelling the Myth of Mass Suicide
Contrary to popular belief, lemmings do not engage in mass suicide by jumping off cliffs. The notion of lemmings blindly following each other to their death is based on a faked documentary by Walt Disney Productions. Lemmings do experience population booms every four years or so, but their numbers rapidly decline due to predation and other factors. Climate change also poses a threat to lemming populations. The overall population dynamics of lemmings are still not fully understood, but they are not mindless creatures engaged in suicidal behavior.
