Fact of the Day: Lemming Rat
While lemmings are related to normal rats, they're more closely related to voles and muskrats.
I've been in the arctic when there was a high lemming population. I never saw evidence of any of the folk wisdom such as lemmings going over a cliff.. There are lots of them but they seem to know that they have to try to escape predators. I've never seen a lemming of this olor.

Not related to humans? You'd think so with so many being lemmings and going off a cliff together.
So interesting.
Always fun learning new things.

They are too cute!
A lot cuter too!
I've never heard of a Lemming rat. They sure are cute.
Honestly it's the first time I hear about them.
They're all members of the rodent family, right?
They are very cute!
They look cuter than rats though.
