Rescuers try to lift a stranded pilot whale at Karikari beach, in New Zealand.

Only nine of 63 whales which beached themselves in a northern New Zealand bay survived, rescuers said.

Although 13 whales were refloated, a day after they were found stranded in the sand, four were unable to make their way out to sea and had to be put down.
