The truth of lemmings

I couldnt believe what i learnt in my biology lesson today. Lemmings are REAL !!! I thought they were like the video game things. Anyway lemmings are small furry little hamsters and live in north canada (cough* ANIMUS *cough). There is also the myth that Lemmings commit sucide by jumping off of cliffs in order to keep the population under control. This is a LIE



Lemmings do not commit sucide, but they often merely fall off or are pushed off. This either happens when they go into new unfamiliar territory or they become over crowded and are pushed off by and expanding crowd.

You may have seen the 1958 Disney nature documentary White Wilderness. In which lemmings are witnessed jumping off cliffs this was forced by the evil disney tirants. During the filming of the 1958 Disney nature documentary White Wilderness, the film crew induced (chased them with a truck) lemmings into jumping off a cliff and into the sea in order to document their supposedly suicidal behavior.

As well as this Disney's White Wilderness was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which is not a native habitat for lemmings and has no outlet to the sea. Lemmings were imported for use in the film, purchased from Inuit children by the filmmakers. The Arctic rodents were placed on a snow-covered turntable and filmed from various angles to produce a "migration" sequence; afterwards, the helpless creatures were transported to a cliff overlooking a river and herded into the water. White Wilderness does not depict an actual lemming migration — at no time are more than a few dozen lemmings ever shown on the screen at once. The entire sequence was faked using a handful of lemmings deceptively photographed to create the illusion of a large herd of migrating creatures.

In my opinion Disney should die SAVE OUR FURRY LEMMING FRIENDS

Also i found a picture of Animus:


Along with his twin polar bear pets (retarded looking arnt they):


This should be pinned so people know about lemmings !

Cool i never knew that they were real, as the saying goes you learn something knew everyday

Yes, I know they were real....

Interesting. If I ever play the game again I will probably wont see it the same when the little digital lemmings fall to their doom. That's pretty sad.

What the hell are lemmings lol.

Awww, they are not green and blue.

Awww, they are not green and blue.

"Let's Go!" Yes the game was great (I played it on my Amiga...).
But the real lemmings are also very, very cute creatures.

Well they say you learn something new everyday

I have to agree with Wish, i have really learnt something new today .
