<p>New Zealand conservation officials and volunteers have successfully refloated one young whale from a pod of five that beached on the country&#8217;s North Island.</p>
<p>The other four, all adult whales and understood to be Grey&#8217;s Beaked whales, died on the west coast beach, an official said.</p>
<p>Local volunteers and Department of Conservation (DoC) staff successfully refloated the only surviving whale, a juvenile, and were hoping it did not become stranded again, DoC spokesman Des Williams said.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s some concern as to whether the juvenile is old enough to survive by itself,&#8221; he said, adding that staff and volunteers had remained in the area to help it if needed.</p>
<p>The dead whales were to be buried in sand dunes nearby.</p>
<p>Grey&#8217;s Beaked whales can grow up to 18.7ft long and have a distinctive long, slender beak.</p>
<p>They strand regularly on New Zealand beaches. Whale experts have been unable to explain why the highly intelligent mammals apparently swim into dangerously shallow waters and become stranded.</p>
