No, they don't.
In the Disney movie which popularized the myth the lemmings were chased off a cliff by a person off screen.

No they don't. Disney made a movie in which they used a lazy susan like turntable to fling the lemmings off the cliff

No they don't. They were used in a movie can't remember the date 60's I think and were trained to run off a cliff. I think that is where the rumour comes from. In nature they do not do that.

If one jumps off, then all the others follow to their doom.
