More than two dozen whales died in a mass stranding at a New Zealand beach, wildlife rangers have said.
The Department of Conservation said 29 long-finned pilot whales were already dead when the pod of 34 marine mammals was found at remote Farewell Spit on the South Island late on Thursday.
The department said it was attempting to refloat the remaining five whales with the morning’s high tide.
“The process can take some time and we may not know if it is successful or not for several hours,” it said on its Facebook page.
