Rescuers save 28 whales from stranding spot Close Rescuers have successfully refloated 28 pilot whales on a notorious
New Zealand beach where they had repeatedly beached themselves.
The long-finned pilot whales were part of a pod of around 50 first found on Monday at Farewell Spit, known for its mass strandings.
At least 15 from the pod have died. However, the surviving whales, who were rescued twice, have remained close to shore and could beach themselves again, wildlife officials said.
