That was, I believe, a one-time occurrance, and it was because the lemming population literally tripled and there was just no where else to go. They didn't throw themselves into the ocean, they were pushed into it.
Edit: Come to think of it, a better example would probably be the sterile worker bees in a hive, who are literally born to die. They can't reproduce and are there only to slave and to die to protect the hive.
