Do these tundra-inhabiting rodents actually jump to their deaths as depicted in a 1958 wildlife documentary?

      In 1532, the geographer Jacob Ziegler of Bavaria proposed the theory that the creatures fell out of the sky during stormy weather and then died suddenly when the grass grew in spring.

      lol, that’s dumb

      This description was contradicted by natural historian Ole Worm, …

      well duh, of course people thought that was stupi—

      … who accepted that lemmings could fall out of the sky, but claimed that they had been brought over by the wind rather than created by spontaneous generation.

      oh

    On the off chance that anyone is in the mood for an hour-long nature documentary on the Norwegian Lemming. And other general arctic biome stuff, as usual for nature documentaries, moose, reindeer, etc.

    It’s a good one: https://youtu.be/rMJpytDpn0w?si=n_qL118K_vtapaqh

    If they do, it is probably to avoid grammar like ‘off of’.

      Do people often throw themselves off precipices around you?

        No. Perhaps because when I get paid to write about science, I don’t use grammar like that.
