Every year, pregnant female elephant seals carry out an ambitious 6,200-mile (10,000km), 240-day journey across the Northeast Pacific Ocean in search of food.

Despite this, the females always seem to make it back home just in time to give birth – and until now, it's remained unclear how they nail this timing.

Now, new research has revealed that pregnant females appear to have an internal map sense, which functions like a built-in GPS and helps ensure they get home within five days of their pup's arrival.

'Migrating elephant seals know how far they are from their breeding beach thousands of kilometres away,' said Roxanne Beltran of the University of California Santa Cruz.

'They also know approximately how long it will take them to get back.'

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The findings from a sprawling, taxpayer-funded investigation ordered by Wisconsin Republicans into the 2020 election won by President Joe Biden are expected to be made public on Monday.

The report from Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice whose work drew bipartisan criticism, was being turned over to Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos in the morning before being made public in the afternoon, a spokesman for Gableman told WLUK-TV.

Gableman, his spokesman and Vos have not returned messages Monday seeking comment.

Gableman has defended his work as trying to get to the truth of what happened in the election and his work has largely focused on grant money awarded to Wisconsin's five largest, and heavily Democratic, cities by a foundation run by Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

Vos, who ordered the investigation, has repeatedly said it was not about trying to overturn Biden's win even though he has faced pressure from some Republican colleagues to do that. Instead, Vos said, the goal was to enact changes before the next election.

However, the Republican-controlled Legislature is unlikely to act this year on any of Gableman’s recommendations. The Assembly met for what was anticipated to be its final day of the year last week and the Senate is planning to come in just once more in early March.

The left-wing New York Times reporter and creator of the controversial 1619 Project accused the media of depicting 'insidious racism' in its heavy coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine - compared to other conflicts - and accused some journalists only have concern for 'Europeans with blond hair and blue eyes.'

'Every journalist covering Ukraine should really, really look internally. This is why I say we should stop pretending we have objectivity and in instead acknowledge our biases so that we can report against them. Many of us see the racialized analysis and language,' Nikole Hannah-Jones tweeted Sunday.

Hannah-Jones, whose 1619 Project initiative aims to reframe American history by placing the consequences of slavery at the center of the national narrative, also alleged the 'admissions of shock' for Ukraine demonstrates racial bias and a lack of attention for 'peoples not considered white'.
