Question

Did you know? The story that lemmings throw themselves off cliffs en masse to "reduce population" is a MYTH — fabricated by a 1958 Disney documentary. The crew forced the animals into a circle and pushed them off a cliff for the camera. In reality lemmings migrate, sometimes swim rivers and drown — not suicide.
