It always BUGS me that people use that term "Lemming" out of context, and most don't know what lemmings are. This fallacy all started with a show many many years ago showing Lemmings jumping off cliffs and drowning in mass numbers. In fact lemmings don't "kill themselves."

FACT:
The Lemming is 3-6 inches long and 1/2oz-4oz. It has a thick gray or brown fur that turns white in winter. That helps them camouflage with the snow. The Lemming has short legs, feet, tail, and ears to help them keep the heat in. The Lemmings live in meadows, woods, marshes, and the tundra in North America, Asia, Europe, and Alaska. They like to live around glaciers.

The Lemmings burrow in the snow to keep the enemies from finding them. When the population grows the Lemmings try to migrate. They are good swimmers with water proof fur, but when they go in the water in a big group most of them drown. Lemmings don't walk off cliffs or into lakes. They make nests out of their hair, grass, moss, and lichen. They are the smallest animals in the tundra.
