Adorable. If it tries to attack you, pick it up and pet it while patronizing its small stature. It'll just grow angrier and will try to kill you in your sleep!
Every lemming I've ever seen have run away immediately, and they were that kind of lemming. One time when I was fishing near a dam, one swam across the river, right in front of the dam. It got to the other side safely, which is probably unlike what would've happened to me had I tried the same thing.
This is the general idea. If the lemming had tried to run away the cat would most likely have jumped it, but by acting aggressive it confused the cat by not acting like other prey.
I know that warning coloration is common in insects, arachnids, amphibians, fish, and even reptiles. I also remember that being used by mammals like skunks and their cousins. But I had nooooooooo idea that a rodent like a Norwegian lemming would use it's fur as warning coloration to signal that it has a nasty stench or poison. I though this species would only use it for camouflage.
I got to know lemmings exist in real life after watching this video. I never heard of lemmings before the animated cartoon series of Grizzy and the lemmings.
I have two 80 lb. Pitbulls, one of whom was a fighter who live in fear of My Guinea Pig Countess Chocula. I have 6 other pigs who are regular timid little things. And then there's the Countess. Ive never seen a piggy act like her.
You don't have to imagine. In Norway when summer comes early they breed like crazy and you can come across a bunch of them at the same time in the mountains.
It is different in cats. These lemmings can fight off humans, so this cat had the right to be afraid of it. This cat is very well fed and knows does not need to hunt. If this cat was hungry it would have killed the lemming. One cat was beaten badly by a rat before.
That is simply not a mean cat, the cat has an agility, bite power, size, reach, and speed advantage. If it pissed the cat off enough or it was a wild cat, that lemming would be hurt or dead. Cats have been known to chase off bears and large dogs from dangerous breeds (in a more aggressive fashion with actual attacks). Brave little guy, no doubt though and the cat was like, "What is he trying to do to me?"
Right, because stoats, weasels and ferrets are all renowned for their docile, easygoing nature ;) Its interesting that the Tassie Devil is often trotted out as our most ferocious mammal here in Australia (despite their health issues) but the animal I've always thought of as best able to defend itself against cats and even dogs (which admittedly cant climb trees !) is the common brushtail possum. Any wild animal that still exists in such healthy numbers in Australia in 2018 clearly knows how to defend itself - sadly, that doesnt extend to smaller animals like the Bilby.
@@tonyjonesbassoonwhippet2271 I'm guessing that I edited my post but of course you are correct - they prey on rodents and pretty much anything else they can get their teeth into. I stand by what I said re temperament and our marsupials.
So rodents got themselves vikings? Cat: "Why is that black and yellow rodent coming over here? Did somebody order lunch? Wait a minute, oh c***, it's attacking what the heck get off me. What's going on?" Lemming: Inside the living's head. (The song Valhalla rising.) Lemon squeak translations. "Gonna use your feline bones to build my hole. Gonna wear your fur to the afterlife."
Just goes to show...when you’re small..and fearless...it’s easy to intimidate the large foe...but the reality is...that thing isn’t scary at all..it’s respectable...the cat probably thinks it’s also a predator 😂
I love how the cat wasn’t even going after it, just minding its own business and then this striped ball of fur goes crazy at it and the cat’s just kinda like “what… what is this? What does it want? Why is it trying to fight?” and just kinda casually walks away from it
WAIT WHAT??? Strong, Powerful Lemming.... Viking Lemming lol.... Oh my god they are cute little attack lumps. Y'all, I didnt even know what a lemming is until today. I thought it was like, not a real animal or smthn. Like, just a funny word for gerbil. I thought lemming was like a jackalope ffs and now i am finding out theres freaking norwegian attack lemmings
That cat must have lost its natural instinct by being fed gourmet meals in the house all its life. The cat has bright colors too and claws as big as that lemmings teeth.
every trail is littered with their corpses, it is said that they get so angry they go into a cardiac arrest, they are super cute tho even tho they are angry
Berskerkers were a branch within in the Norse "Military" known now as Vikings. The Berserkers were the most Insane, because they were actually Insane people. They were used because they were fearless, it is said that they were fed drugs to make them go into a violent frenzy/psychosis.

I like to say that lemmings are 99% bravery and 1% intelligence
It's intelligence too, they make use of their body colour to scare off predators
Ratio like that gets you killed lol.
Not true at all their fierceness indicates intelligence
They got heart. You have to give them credit for that. Lol.
The fact they are not extinct meaning they are doing something right
Ah, the ever aggressive honey badger now in convenient pocket size!
1/10 of the size but twice the smoke all in one adorable package.
God damn it, you just won the comment war. Take my like.
Scandinavian warrior hamster!
*lemming.
HAHA fuck yes!!!!!!! norway btw me
my brother did me proud... How brave he is attacking a cat like that
aposematism is also visible on feminists - bright hair, colored frames of glasses, bright lipstick, etc.
is a viking this lemming
That’s the most adorable grouchy rodent I’ve ever seen.
I have had lemmings trying to fight me several times. It is hilarious. Most fun part of hunting grouse in the mountains of Sweden :D
Until one bites.
Then it's blam time.
Nighthawke70 I throw a couple of snowballs at them. Not that it helps, just because it is fun.
Hilarious? Dude, that would scare the shit out of me. Lemmings don't fuck around.
@ hahaha pleasee record it next time
Let your lemming figth with a hmster and a cavia
Adorable. If it tries to attack you, pick it up and pet it while patronizing its small stature. It'll just grow angrier and will try to kill you in your sleep!
exactly what i was thinking
porp109 he was a bean so he cannot attack
"Awww this shmol fella be angy! Whatchu gonna do huh shmol ting?"
Pop your fingers open like a can opener unless you have gloves on.
@@boonkietime4239 Ive been bitten by rodents before and they can really bite HARD!
Viking lemmings, don't mess.
Damn nordics, they even have viking lemmings.
Used them to train our berserkers.

My SO told me that if I were an animal, I'd be a Norwegian Lemming. Then he sent me this video :/
Are you still together??
@@finthefishsep20toma Yes. We're gettingmarried soon.
@@angygremlin4423 aw cute! That is nice to hear :)
I wanna see two Norwegian Lemmings on top of the cake!
Name checks out
An absolute mad lad there.
The Honey Badger of the rodent/vole world.
That lemming looks calm and reasonable
are he a calm and reasonable person?
When the squeaky toy fights back😂😂😂..
Very typical lemming behavior! Once I drove my bike into a ditch because one jumped in front of me and started screaming bloody murder.
He was trying to sue you for damages
Lemming: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
Humans: Awww haha so cute :3 lil feisty baby
Niceeeeeeee
Lol this is funny
My snake loves eating them
Bumble Bees: WAAAAGHH!!!
They are exactly like the hamster named "Rhino" from the movie "Bolt"
Reminds me of Monty Python’s killer rabbit 😂

He’s definitely not from Compton
The cat didn't know what to make of it. Lol.

Lemming So Cute 😭😍
The only animal capable of dying from anger. Imagine old Norwegian lemmings. Their entire world formed around them. Lol.
The Viking lemmings don't give a shit.
It’s the Canadian goose of rodents!

He’s perfect.

livid lemming
Imagine an army of these little 'berserker' lemmings.
You don't have to imagine. In Norway when summer comes early they breed like crazy and you can come across a bunch of them at the same time in the mountains.
That cat is brightly colored but is useless.

+Solo Frazier and now we have large mice causing havoc in New Zealand trying to eat 15 pound birds. nature can surprising.
V Guyver Yes, it is.
Bro, we have an agressive pitbull dog named tiny, if that lemming tries to attack tiny,
One blink and that lemmings gone.

Those are mustelids, not rodents

In Norway, lemmings will fight you!
So rodents got themselves vikings?
Cat: "Why is that black and yellow rodent coming over here? Did somebody order lunch? Wait a minute, oh c***, it's attacking what the heck get off me. What's going on?"
Lemming: Inside the living's head. (The song Valhalla rising.)

"Gonna use your feline bones to build my hole. Gonna wear your fur to the afterlife."
If this isn't the national animal of Norway, I'm gonna be disappointed.
I'm impressed that they can kill weasels, still doesn't make them any less cute.
When a small rodent can take out a weasel, it deserves full credit for how tough it is!

Fierce as the Scandinavian Lemming is, it's still no match for the Snowy Owl. Lemmings are its favorite pray.
what, coz they're colored like a popsicle and they don't run?😂
My nickname is Sopuli which means lemming in Finnish language.
Give him the horned helmet already.
That lemming is a born fighter
Norwegian lemmings are so cute when they're angry.
Viking lemmings have no fear.

Did you know that the Norwegian Lemming (Lemmus Lemmus) is the fiercest rodent of the hamster family?
what a cute description😂

Well... How did I get here? (Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down)
😉🎵
Long story short: they are cute, but will fight
When At least 25% of this comment section is about It’s Everyday Bro meme.
I was Just thinking thats just a normal lemming. "This is a norwegian lemming" . As a norwegian myself "makes sense"
hahaha are Norwegians all fearsome so you thought it's normal?😂
@@Gibeah Haha, no, The other types don't exist in Norway, So most Norwegians think all Lemmings are like that.
That cat must have lost its natural instinct by being fed gourmet meals in the house all its life. The cat has bright colors too and claws as big as that lemmings teeth.
Amazing animal.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You go little lemming!
Lol the video ending so cute... and BBC was that you going close up against a lemming?
1:02 His name is Nick Crumpton and his collar stay poppin'
Lol, basically a wild living hamster.
Lemmings were honey badgers in there past life so it comes out sometimes !
Lemmings are those feisty ten year olds of the animal kingdom
Character development in the wildlife be like:
These lemmings are fearless lol 🤣
Most lemmings hide, this one would rather go down fighting something bigger than it, ironically that also means everything
VALHALLA😂😂😂😂😂
When you push a felt tip pen to its limit
It’s all fun and games until they say tabodi to a bear
Cats: I will kill this dumb bear.
Also Cats: Omg! A lemming!!
every trail is littered with their corpses, it is said that they get so angry they go into a cardiac arrest, they are super cute tho even tho they are angry
Aaaw poor guys, I hope I can see one, but from a distance so it does not make them angry enough to die.
They're really cute and interesting! 😍
Berserkers , hahaha. Isn’t that what they called the Vikings? 😂
Berskerkers were a branch within in the Norse "Military" known now as Vikings. The Berserkers were the most Insane, because they were actually Insane people. They were used because they were fearless, it is said that they were fed drugs to make them go into a violent frenzy/psychosis.
LEMMINGS ARE SO CUTE!
goes for the eye Boo. Go for the eyes
I’m so scared
He's not your average lemming warrior.
adorable tiny mice
It's about that life. LOL.
adorable great grey owl.
Perhaps I have found the tip of the spear for my squirrel army 🤔
Shout-out to Sterling for bringing me here lol
Same bro💀
I think it does it for self preservation, most predators want a easy meal so just it showing it will fight is enough to dissuade predators.
Scandinavia every living beings is more braver than any others on the planet
gud one😂
VIKING LEMMING !!!
Come on man!..
You're telling me that Jerry's cousin is actually real?😂😂
A little Viking 😄.
And that's a Norwegian Forest Cat
Classic Lemming W
In layman's terms, the Norwegian lemming is about that action and wants all the smoke. Quite.
The giant enemy lemming!
