This tree was discovered and measured in 2006. The National Park Service then that at 115.7 meters, it was the tallest tree in the world. Now it is famous that it even has a name, 'Hyperion'. In California, there are other giant redwoods which are just a little shorter than Hyperion. The exact of many of these enormous trees is kept secret to prevent them from being damaged.
A(n) redwood tree lives for 500 to 700 years, although some have been found that are more than 2,000 years old. The National Park Service says that the redwoods' great height is mainly the climate in California; there is heavy rain every year and the temperatures are mild.
