Rescuers have been working through the night off Wellington to keep a baby orca alive after it was separated from its pod on Sunday afternoon.
Despite the winter temperatures, volunteers were in the water with the calf, keeping it safe using a makeshift pen at the end of a jetty.
The Department of Conservation is calling on the public to help with the search for his pod.
