Norwegian Lemming (Lemmus lemmus), Setesdal Vesthei - Ryfylkeheiane Landscape Conservation Area

The Norwegian Lemming is a common species of Lemming found in Northern Fennoscandia. It is the only vertebrate species endemic to the region. The Norway Lemming dwells in tundra and fells, and prefers to live near water. Adults feed primarily on sedges, grasses and moss. They are active both during the day and night, alternating naps with periods of activity.
