Lemming Migration Along the Norwegian Coast.

[Reyalp]

02:12 It's 300, lemming version

[drugnort]

if you look up about this vid the people filming it chased the lemming of the cliff its a myth that lemming jump of cliffs

[TheSubscriptionGiver]

lemmings: dumbasses of the animal kingdom

[jigsawzoubir]

Come on, how could you say that scientists don't get it ?! They are just retard.

[Kazuma1092]

Found this on wiki, so mass suicide a myth, some do die jumping off cliff, and some do drown, but not complete idiots, just instinct

[Kazuma1092]

Lemmings became the subject of a popular misconception that they commit mass suicide when they migrate. Actually, it is not a mass suicide but the result of their migratory behavior. Driven by strong biological urges, some species of lemmings may migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. Lemmings can swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat. In such cases, many drown if the body of water is so wide, stretch physical capability to the limit

[xXtheMP5Xx]

ALL OF ZEM DROWNED! love how german the guy is... no emotion...

[formula90II]

No one here realizes the they imported the lemmings then chased them off a cliff.... You DO realize this right? They CAN swim for limited distances, and they WEREN'T filmed in natural surroundings.

It's essentially Disney's snuff film.

[carmany2]

@formula90II You are kinda right, Disney used a record player and flung them off.

[KrystalKobra]

Any species that have babies so much that the environment can't support them all is extremely retarded...:P

[swat105]

@KrystalKobra are you trying to make a statement on humans? cause if you are well done

[KrystalKobra]

@swat105 Yep. thank you, I'm glad someone caught the irony :)

[dejavuman22]

The reason it continues is that there is no selection against it. Perhaps this instinctual suicide is genetically linked to another mechanism present in the lemming that is beneficial (or at least doesn't harm the lemming). This could also be the trade-off between reproductive success and fecundity (or survivability).

[richardsharp75]

This could be a documentary about American society.

[butlerlog]

Bullshit.

[chechin1091]

this is fake right???? somebody to answer me pleasee??

[ChevyCamaroIsBetter]

@chechin1091 yes

[danecookbklounge]

@chechin1091 Uh, no, it's not, Lemmings are EXTREMELY stupid.

[Boba2388]

@chechin1091 lemmings are dumber than my right nut

[chechin1091]

@Boba2388 hahahahahahhaha they are very dumb then  just kidding :D

[666Shinedown]

@chechin1091 I'm sorry but it's real...lemmings are nature's retards

[Guerrillablackdog]

Man they're stupid... :/

I always thought they committed suicide, but they just bump into each other... OFF the cliff...

Still stupid though...

[Peter1Europe]

They ar kept as pets ?

[Naxer84]

Lemmings don't do that. The first time people thought they did that was because a Disney movie crew had chased lemmings off a cliff specifically for the film. Any documentary on that is false.

[ClassyTricks]

me: awww theyre so cute

*lemmings jump off clip*

me: OMGWTF NOOOOOO

[scatcoitusmoosic]

so cute, so sad

[Paeremannen]

Ha ha ha seriously though lemmings don't do that.

[Dentonas]

They fast reproduction like chinese ;)

[souldude151]

If this is true then lemmings are douches, they couldn't just let the predators have a larger supply of prey, so they all kill themselves.

[sadistxx666xx]

Lemmings... natures retards

[GeneralG1810]

They look alot like Guinea pigs

[VagrantNoName]

One question. Do they kill themselves?

[sesshomarublood]

@VagrantNoName Nope.

[VagrantNoName]

@sesshomarublood

Then how am I gonna restart the level them if i can't force them to kill themselves?

[SgtEaglefort]

@VagrantNoName - In a way, yes. But not on purpose.

[nerdy8675309]

Honey badgers don't have shit on lemmings

[GodofFerrets13]

Lemmings... dodo's of the modern age!

[1blackmass]

People Are Like A Bunch Of Lemmings Ain't They.

[GermanConquistador08]

Lemmings: Kind of like liberals. (I'm joking, dont cruxify me)

[IHaveDimensia]

@GermanConquistador08 Why would I cruxify you when I could crucify you? ;P

[GermanConquistador08]

@IHaveDimensia You sir, win!

[ph0masta]

lucky seagulls

[balletjukken]

Are there more than one breed of lemmings in Norway? Cause I live there, and these are somewhat different from the ones I have seen. Might just be the quality of the video, but the colour/pattern seems off:S

[LaxRatBra]

@balletjukken I would think this video would be very usual for you what with the mass killings and all

[sexygrandpamidget]

Related video: Japanese Bombing of Pearl Harbor

coincidence? I think not.

[georgiabulldogfan46]

lol..swimming until exhuastion...they all drown

[FATJESUS316]

:46 looks at dead lemming......well this way must be clear

[rthoma34]

10 out of 10 lemmings are born mentally retarded

[RiverOfSteel]

Is it wrong I found thsi adorable, then laughed when they were floating on the water?

[FrioFrijoles]

@RiverOfSteel hahaha, no don't worry about that. I actually laughed out loud when I saw the floating posse of lemming corpses.

[heartagramBryar69]

I want two pet lemmings one boy and one girl. So they can have babies. So I can put them in a huge maze like in the video game!!!!!!!!

[242ICE]

Lemmings; Truly nature's retard.

[Eternity4EvaStudios]

And here I thought that when the Lemming population was too big, they did mass suicide and ran off cliffs in large numbers...

[Shikamaru1801]

Lets play lemmings

follow me to the clif :D

[WolfySnackrib666]

Let's go!

[ShroomSamich]

the "lemming" nature's retard 

[ValiantM16]

Is a lemming a bird or a rodent?

[ValiantM16]

What I lvoe is that scientists thougth that they were committing mass suicide. 

[13sidewinder]

Why don't we just put them in a big wheel and have them power a city?

[RoniCMaster]

Lemming are definitely winners of the Darwin Award. I thought it was humans, but I'll give it to the Lemmings.

[scerocks]

It's a Lemming year in 2011, which means lots of lemmings...

[insaneclownjohn]

I wanna capture them all and make an army of them :DD they are sooo adorable!!

[teswolf919]

When was making the video the last one on the list of how they die should be "Retardation"

[AngryTinyMan]

Level 2: Only floaters can survive this. All lemmings accounted for. You needed: 10% You rescued: 0% ROCK BOTTOM! I hope for your sake you nuked that level...

[REPCLONE]

i always thought nothing untill somebody else told me to think it

[PyroManic825]

I always thought Lemmings were birds...

[scullybug1]

@PyroManic825

Same. I always thought they were like the size of ducklings

[TurboXgam3r]

this is not norway

[Paeremannen]

Not only is it staged, it's the wrong species of lemming. Norway lemmings look different from these.

[619statelaw]

You learn some thing new every day!

[MonkeyKing20I2]

How... lovely...

[ht76845]

Aww they look cute!

[Phototato]

Reminds me of that Ducktales episode... Uncle Scrooge's Pet I think it's called.

[AndrewKH85]

Lemmings cant swim, my Playstation told me so

[sweetdreams0320]

2:12 - 2:42 similar behaviour can be noted in many people today as mindless followers of the media...

[triplestep1829]

@sweetdreams0320 you a commie?

[macgyver2210]

This was debunked by a Canadian documentary called Cruel Camera. Disney actually launched them off the cliff for that shot with a turntable.

[TheSpore101]

lol

[Chameleonardodavinci]

Laugh my ass off everytime I hear the word "lemming"

[ponypim]

cutest little thing ever.

[TheIRONMAN1408]

natures retards

[Ch4M4L]

2:42 looks like the cornflakes i eat every morning.

[bubblewandd]

Consider the Lemming< would be a good name for a band.

[MLink96]

I live in norway, and I saw one, it got so scared that it died :( I blew up, I'm not kidding..

[AllGamplay]

I got a friend, and he is a animal hater. He uses his bike to crush the lemmings. he steps on them and kill them because he thinks its funny. Now he has moved where he can no longer hurt a lemming again.

[condemned13]

poor dumb bastrards

[Demauscian]

did you know that these people forced the lemmings to commit suicide for this video?

[jwallbanger]

it's humans that do this not lemmings. when humans become overpopulated, they go to war over resources. massive numbers of humans die, the population goes back to sustainable numbers. humans keep population in check by mass suicide through charging at one another with weapons, lemmings don't do anything of the sort.

[crosbyj25]

@jwallbanger But the human race isn't kept in check is it?

[jwallbanger]

@crosbyj25 sure it is, from a basic short term perspective "in check" just means the number of human beings that can survive on the amount of immediately available resources.

but yeah, from a long term perspective we are very, very far from long-term sustainability. but that's a different discussion.

what i was talking about was the number of human beings that can survive, or in more recent cases, have the luxuries they want, on the amount of resources available.

[Regisigh]

Lemming. Nature's cute little retard :3.

[Crayzman2297]

"Swimming until exhausted; All of them drown."

just the way he said it....

lmfao!

[Pieishman]

@Crayzman2297 You do know this was fake, the guys who filmed it pushed them off the cliffs.

[juvi12321]

lemmings are awesome. xD

[sugargliderpal202]

natures retard -_- lawlz

[oirad7]

7 peoples are wolfes

[s3kjack]

7 dislikes... who doesnt like lemmings?!?!??!?!

[Havn79]

This isn't even the species of lemming that we have in Norway. Lemmus trimucronatus is the nort American type of lemming, our norwegian lemming is called Lemmus lemmus.

[LedZepAlexander]

I wouldn't jump of the harbour bridge even if my friends did!!

[Deidara360]

I like how they just hurl themselves off cliffs

[sailornaruto39]

they're like a cross between guinea pigs and chipmunks XD

so they just naturally want to be stupid when their is too many of them?

[sailornaruto39]

@sailornaruto39 oh... it is fake?

[DreamTiger5]

Suicidal little buggers. Better survival instincts than Isabella Swan though.

[riiomis]

once they find a house they eat and fuck.....so their niggers?

[nassah23]

@riiomis They are like right wing nuts foxnews aka the saudi news channel listeners..They are ignorant,stupid and cannot think for themnselves..

[wildlife011803]

awwwww.they look kinda like hamsters

[alexbarbour747]

lol thats funny as f**k but its still quite sad that they pushed them off :( poor lemmings

[warofrazors999]

They don't commit suicide they reproduce like crazy and migrate not looking at where they go and fall of cliffs he even said if there is water in the way they swim through it so they're just dumb and think there going to swim through something easy. I heard Disney did a doc on this and it was all fake, they said the filmers threw the lemmings off the cliffs for the film.

[kwazhimself]

off*

[kwazhimself]

are you kidding? i want a couple of those, make em run of the counter..... and into a blender! woohoo!

[cynopt]

They're so freaking cute.

[Spiritplumber]

At least use a blocker or something!

[Nessule]

They're cute individually, but seeing them pop out of holes in the ground at 0:52 gave me the creeps. They're like cockroaches. O_O

[maxinpains]

is that a rat?

[bboyfxxu]

@maxinpains yeah it's a rat, because the movies name is Lemming Migration Along the Norwegian Coast.

[maxinpains]

@bboyfxxu right? My buddy, Dean thinks it'a a rabbit!! LMAO!!!

yeah, he is stupid... since he was born....

[theMansalad]

My mom watched this video in school!

[bboyfxxu]

@theMansalad wow crasy guy

[J14will]

The 1st videop of lemmings ever , they actually didnt jump off the cliffside, instead, beacuse they were soo bored, the 2 guys who were filming them started to kick them off the cliff.........................­.......................o-O

[Commandos12]

we're humans have behaviors just as strange as lemmings so don't see them as retarded... if u creates massive *panic wanna stay away from other human* hormone... then u'll probably do the same

[thejobloshow]

there's something to be said about their migration behaviour though... driving themselves further and further until they just burn out... pretty prophetic.

[thejobloshow]

lemmings are suicidal.

[khusae]

erm, no. this video was not taken from the Disney documentary "White Wilderness", which may or may not have been staged (the portion in question is on youtube, by the way, if you want proof). lemmings will commit a mass suicide if overpopulated anyway, so even if this is fake (highly doubtful), you could say that this delayed the next mass suicide. nice try though ;)

[MetriiTown]

although this is sad and you may call me sick for saying this, this video made me laugh, send hate mail and comment all you like.

[MikeeHun]

they have better ways to control population then we have, so what ? :)

[michael12533]

2:35 imagine a massive shark at this moment

[iTzChALLeNgEd]

This was actually staged.... Some people are real assholes.

[Calebmoyer]

the lemming, aka, nature's retard

[SpitfireFlashfire]

The emos of nature!

[tamj15]

@SpitfireFlashfire looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooool!!!! hajaja

[drawsony]

Fake

[FuryzPKz]

LEMMINGS ARE SO STUPID

*Sigh*

[drpeppa2357]

lol great, so they really do run off cliffs, though its more of a migratory impulse than an ritual.

[grendelee]

actually, they dont. They tried to film the rumor, and when they couldnt, they actually threw the lemmings off the cliff using a machine and then filmed it. sad but true

[nikkirocktar101]

our teacher says that we are like lemmings, ifone of us does somthing, we all want to do somthing!

[Sanimangas]

If only humans thought like like lemmings then this world will be saved.

[KAOTIC559]

@Sanimangas If only YOU thought like a lemming, our world would be a better place. :)

[Sanimangas]

I think humans already think like lemmings. Since earth will be over populated we will travel through space to populate other worlds, or drown in space.

[81kamill]

If people travel in space to seek more planets to leech off... all we'll do is ruin another planet cause people are just retarded and self fish they can only care about them selves to destroy something and justify it as survival.

[Sanimangas]

@81kamill

that's why I said "if only humans thought like lemmings"

[alphamaledude]

wow lemmings are stupid

[PointySponge]

is this the same footage from white wilderness?

[horse14t]

Lemmings DON'T jump off cliffs. This was all made up when people out of the shot throw lemming off the cliffs. (cruel much)

[w33dd00d]

they do jump off of cliffs the thing is, they can swim whicch the fottage does not catch them swimming

[JackyBoyo92]

it really does show that..

[w33dd00d]

i know i found out after watching the whole vid -_-

[anarrestii]

This is taken from 1958 documentary "White Wilderness", and it was staged/faked.

"the lemming scene was filmed at the Bow River near downtown Calgary and not at the Arctic Ocean as implied by the film. He found out that the lemmings did not voluntarily jump into the river but were pushed in by a rotating platform installed by the film crew."

you can read about it here on Wikipedia.

search White Wilderness on Wikipedia.

[iwin4u2]

@anarrestii That is a different film by Disney - not this one.

[GrimHeaperThe]

@anarrestii They were going to kill themselves stupidly anyway, why not make it funny?

[TristanC20]

@anarrestii But of course that is just a myth.

[encore543]

@anarrestii wait so did they die

[triplestep1829]

@anarrestii your gonna trust wikipedia?...

[witness124]

@anarrestii Wow.....It's faked...interesting.

Still hilarious to see them being thrown to ther deaths.

[SparkleCorp]

*KILLING SPREE*

[xlJonnyQthanlx]

my teacher Mr Silk makes jokes to Anton about these retarded things

[ShadowYoshi2]

Lemmings, Natures Retard.

[barringtonthedog]

the lemmings jumping off the cliff is a myth. you can find it being debunked elsewhere on youtube. unfortunately, it is people who blindly follow, not the lemmings.

[anarrestii]

ufff... youtube does not let me put the link.

Search for White Wilderness on youtube and you will see it "being debunked" for what iot is. A fake. The scene was staged.

[anarrestii]

(I hate not being able to leave the links here.....)

anyway, go to the "White Wilderness" Wiki, on wikipedia.

in "References", the 2nd is "Cruelty to Animals in the Entertainment Business, CBC News". Click on it, to see the video of the 1982 news report that exposed that cliff jumping scene as fake (and cruel, by the way)

[paintballmasta69]

@anarrestii Oh, if Wikipedia said it, it must be true.

[w33dd00d]

@anarrestii if you use wikipedia as a reference your retarded.

[trapjak]

@w33dd00d *to all people who think that way

wikipedia has references at the bottom of the page itself, and is scrutinized by thousands upon thousands every day. If you're among the group who feels the need to constantly belittle anyone who check out facts on wikipedia you're a sanctimonious retard douche

[w33dd00d]

@trapjak people can still post whatever on it

[sebastianave]

@w33dd00d

No they can't, well they can but it only shows up on their computer, if I go on wiki and type in I like to fuck monkeys, then no one else would be able to see it even if I saved it. Only I would.

[Yellowpickle23]

@trapjak

You are using smart person talk. Are you pro-wiki? I hope so, cause ME TOO!

The only reason people (mainly school instructors) hate Wiki, is because it's an easy resource to use on the internet. They want to make your paper a difficult project.

[shoryuken202]

@trapjak and a wanker.

[coaltrain4]

quite sad, yet funny

[DeSnixor]

Folo the leader. lol

[XxLinkFookedZeldaxX]

Nature's retards

[goubulblok]

lol the 1st one fell the 2nd stoped but the 3rd one puched im down!

[laksemann]

Huska utmærket gådt når da va læmmenår her...Faen satan me læmmen overalt! :P

[masterDJ32]

this was staged. Disney did it. :(

[Penguinmenace]

well on the other hand the fact that disney brutally slaughtered 100 or so furry mammels comes as no great surprise.

[Penguinmenace]

"they will all swim until they drown."

I personally think lemmings aren't stupid they're just hardcore. XD

Also another fun fact to brighten your day, did you know that disney made a movie in which they filmed lemmings falling off a cliff, but since the lemmings weren't in migration mode the disney guys had to force them off the cliff?

[kittykiichigo]

@Penguinmenace I know, this is so disgusting. Just because they wanted the perfect scene for their movie.

[cyclingtj]

Too bad humans don't have this instinct. Just think of all the morons we would be rid of.

[realistromeo]

They look tasty and their fur looks good enogh to make pelts.
