And you
feel a certain kinship? The smallest of the mammals of the High
Arctic, lemmings are key species in arctic ecosystems. For unknown reasons,
lemming populations fluctuate drastically, peaking about every four years and
then crashing almost to extinction. Because the small bodies of lemmings are
important food for ermines, arctic foxes, Snowy Owls, Gyrfalcons, and jaegers,
this mysterious cycle controls the rhythm of animal life on the tundra. Tom Jaszewski www.livesoil.com 702-595-7012 -----Original
