Lapland, Norway, and Finland. Wild lemmings in the natural wilderness of the Nordic Lapland. They are almost everywhere where there is some ground cover and protection from predators. Some of them will give out a warning call when approaching close to them; often, it is by their warning call that you find them.
Nature Camouflaged Lemmings
Their furry coat is well camouflaged for the vegetation where they live; different shades of brown and black make them blend into the environment. While walking in the bush, I was often abrupt-ed by a loud squeal of a lemming close by me, looking around to see where it was, where the sound had come from; it was most times right beneath me in the tusks of grass or hiding among the growing lichen. The lemmings seem to give a warning signal to the other lemmings close by.
Wild Lemmings are noticed by the warning call they give to other lemmings. Most of the time, when I spotted a lemming, it was after the lemming had made a loud warning squeal. Only once or twice did I detect a lemming when it was out crossing a road or running past the open back door in the backyard. In the forest, there was good ground cover for them to hide; predator birds and foxes hunted them.
Wild Lemmings in the wilderness. Lemmings’ presence in the Nordic wilderness varies from year to year; not every year is equal; there are seasons when there are many times more wild lemmings to be seen, so much so that it is impossible to miss them while bush walking in the Nordic wilderness. During my visit in 2011 to Karigasniemi Lapland in north Finland, the abundance of wild lemming was most apparent, and there were lots of them everywhere northwest of the town towards Lake Inari.
