Interesting, my relative, a biologist who use to work for oil companies doing environmental impact reports told me lemmings don't kill themselves.

SNIP:
Do lemmings really jump off
cliffs in mass suicides?





Of course not, but this lemming myth is based partly on truth. Only the Norwegian Lemming (Lemmus lemmus) migrates a small distance each spring and fall in search of preferred foods. Occasionally, when populations are high, the fall migration can be extended to over 100 kilometers. Lemmings are strong swimmers, but during the frantic search for suitable food, they may attempt to cross swift streams and large lakes, dying in great numbers. These mass migrations take place every 30 to 35 years with the next one due around the year 2000.
