(Department of Conservation via AP) (Associated Press)WELLINGTON, New Zealand — All of the 145 pilot whales that stranded themselves on a remote New Zealand beach have died. A hiker discovered the pilot whales in two pods about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) apart late Saturday on Stewart Island. About 75 were already dead and conservation workers decided to euthanize the others due to their poor condition and remote location.
