Lemmings don't commit suicide on purpose, they just fall off cliffs into rivers during their migration. Under every fact there is a source if you haven't noticed.

"Tarsiers have never formed successful breeding colonies in captivity, and when caged, tarsiers have been known to injure and even kill themselves because of the stress."
Tarsiers often leap to their deaths in captivity...on purpose. The author of these facts needs to read more.
