Research in Current Biology tells us that the Elephant
seals “between 2004 and 2015, Roxanne
Beltran at the University of
California, Santa Cruz, and her colleagues tagged and tracked 108 adult female
elephant seals that bred on a beach. Once pregnant, female elephant seals leave
their breeding beaches and migrate into the north-east Pacific Ocean to search
for food. They spend around 240 days at sea and travel roughly 10,000
kilometres before returning to their breeding beaches to give birth..”.

cannot be brought by evolution, only the one created them could do the trick,
