107 Pilot Whales Dead On New Zealand Beach A pod of 107 pilot whales stranded on a remote New Zealand beach have died, including 48 that were put down, the government's conservation department said.

The stranded whales were discovered by hikers on Sunday near Cavalier Creek on Stewart Island, off the southern tip of New Zealand's South Island.

All members of a pod of 107 pilot whales that beached on a remote New Zealand island have died.The whales were well up the beach and the tide was receding, leaving little chance of keeping them alive until more rescuers could arrive.

Pilot whales are about 13 feet to 20 feet long and are the most common species of whale in New Zealand waters. Whale strandings are common in New Zealand.

Last month, 24 pilot whales died after stranding on the north island.
