On: Bizarre Self-Destructing Palm Tree Found

Lemmings are actually just misunderstood.

The suicide myth was further propagated by Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in 1958 which includes footage of lemmings migrating and running head-long over a ledge. An investigation in 1983 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Brian Vallee, showed that the Disney film makers faked the entire sequence using imported lemmings (bought from Inuit children), a snow covered turntable on which a few dozen lemmings were forced to run, and literally throwing lemmings into the sea to show the alleged suicides. The Disney corporation is well known for their innovation. Their rodent launcher, predating Outpost.com by around 48 years, is further proof of this.
