So how else has our perception of the world been shaped by the media ARVE Error: need id and provider. The lemming suicide myth is persistent, but false, like the myth that we use only ten percent of our brains. Lemmings Don’t Jump Off Cliffs As The Corbett Report community notes, lemmings jumping from cliffs is a figment of Walt Disney’s imagination, not a real phenomenon. It’s a matter of survival of the fittest, or perhaps the smartest. Then we would assume that lemmings would evolve into creatures who would no longer take the plunge. Prompted by a comment in the RotK thread about the infantry charge being like a pack of lemmings running off a cliff, I must report that I was sadly disappointed to learn yesterday that lemmings DO NOT, contrary to everything Ive been taught, commit mass suicide by running off a cliff.

In 1980, Gary Larson’s “ The Far Side” comic showed a group of lemmings jumping into the water. Lemmings are small rodents who inhabit the polar regions whose population varies immensely with population booms followed by sudden population collapses.

Scientists have studied the variation in lemming populations for many years, but they don’t entirely understand it. they DONT Dammit One of my lifelong ambitions was to witness lemmings jumping off cliffs. They reproduce rapidly, and their population varies dramatically, usually over a four-year cycle.
