Examples
- The lemmus lemmus, also known as the Norway lemming, has a unique population dynamic characterized by periodic mass migrations.
- Norwegian folklore incorrectly perpetuates lemmus lemmus as mindlessly leaping into the sea during said mass migrations.
- During mass migration events lemmus lemmus populations are often observed plummeting into nearby rivers and smaller bodies of water, frequently with fatal consequences.
- Although an urban myth that the lemmus lemmus deliberately plunges into the ocean during mass migrations has been debunked, the Norway lemming does occasionally get swept into the sea.
- In reality, lemmus lemmus mass migrations are primarily driven by overpopulation and the search for food sources rather than an innate desire to leap into the ocean.
