For my exploration I did more research on redwoods. This is what I found:  The tallest living redwood tree is 367 ft 6 in tall. This is 5 stories taller than the statue of Liberty  The oldest redwood tree is 2,213 years old  A redwood called General Sherman is more than a hundred feet around at the base  Redwoods date back to about 240 million years ago  There is only about 5% of the original redwood forest left in the world These are scale picture that will help you understand the size and what is left of the redwoods today.
