Dozens of pilot whales washed ashore in New Zealand: volunteers are trying to drag the surviving animals into the ocean. According to the country's nature conservation department, at least 20 individuals are stranded, while local residents say about 50. The rescue forces, together with the Maori tribe and volunteers, try to return the surviving animals to the ocean at high tide. So far two have been saved. Four people are still alive, but in serious condition. The cause of the incident is still unknown. Pilot whales are one of the largest dolphins in the ocean, second only to the killer whale in size.
