Lemmings have a reputation for being suicide-obsessed cliff-diving rodents, but what explains this curious behavior?
While Brent and Ryan work on season two of the Notcast, we explore the “Or Not” side of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. This week, we look into the mystery of lemming behavior, and how our understanding of these rodents became so warped.
Watch the lemming footage for yourself:

Hey. I’m trying to find a way to officially contact you. And hopefully someone else has as this episode is pretty old. The hosts were sort of mocking the idea of an “emotional support pony”. In reality miniature horses are the only species that is officially recognized as service animals aside from dogs. Miniature horses make amazing service animals because of their intelligence, longevity and they are less likely to be allergens. They are less common but growing in popularity especially for those that need mobility service animals.
