3. Habitat • Lemmings live in the Artic meadows, woods, marshes, and the tundra in North America, Asia, Europe, and Alaska. They like to live around glaciers.

4. Predators • The lemming’s predators are foxes, weasles, hawks, owls, gyrfalcons, and wolves.

5. Appearence • The lemming is 3-6 inches long and weighs ½ oz – 4oz . It has thick gray or brown fur that turns white in winter. It helps them to be camouflaged in the snow. The lemming has short legs, feet, tail, and ears to help them keep the heat in.

6. Life Cycle Lemmings live less than two years! They have three to seven babies after they are pregnant for three weeks. About every three years, there is over-population until September. All female lemmings are pregnant in Summer. They have up to three litters per year. Baby lemmings are born under the snow and drink mother’s milk to survive.

7. Other Facts • Lemmings burrow in the snow to keep their enemies from finding them. When the population grows the lemmings try to migrate. They are good swimmers with waterproof fur, but when they go in the water in a big group most of them drown. Lemmings make paths called “runways” and tunnels under the snow and over roots. In winter the lemming’s feet grow bigger and they get smaller in the summer. Lemmings don’t walk off cliffs or into lakes. They make nests out of their hair, grass, moss and lichens. They are the smallest animals in tundra.
