Do you ever wish you could take the steam with you?
Someone who blindly follows a crowd is often compared to a lemming, which are famous for following each other blindly (often to their deaths). However, this perception isn’t entirely true. Most species of lemmings migrate to some degree; the largest migration is undertaken by Norway lemmings. These expeditions are so large that individuals can be trampled, or forced over the edges of cliffs by sheer pressing momentum of the crowd, but none willingly throw themselves to their deaths.

Malagasy Giant Jumping Rat (Hypogeomys antimena)
(Photo by Andrey Giljov)
Conservation Status- Critically Endangered
Habitat- Central-western Madagascar
Size (Weight/Length)- 1 kg; 30 cm; 25 cm tail
Diet- Fruits; Seeds; Bark
Cool Facts- The malagasy giant jumping rat might be the most rabbit-looking rodent. Despite their relatively small size, these rats can leap 90 centimeters directly into the air to avoid predators. Spending their days inside burrows, their homes are large complexes with many different entrances to allow for quick escapes. Malagasy giant jumping rats are not monogamous but pairs will stick together to raise their offspring after the breeding season. Sadly, due to habitat destruction and large populations of feral cats, these rats are confined to only 200 square kilometers of protected forest. Multiple off site captive breeding programs in zoos and sanctuaries hope to preserve this absolutely adorable rat.
Rating- 13/10 (Hippity hoppity, get off my property.)
