Lemmings are best known for the popular myth that they commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs.

Periodically, lemmings will experience a large population boom followed by a steep drop-off that leads to near extinction. It’s believed that this is because lemmings often migrate to new territories when population numbers begin to overwhelm the resources of their original home, and sometimes large numbers of lemmings die in the migration process.

This population fluctuation is likely responsible for the suicide myth
