NEW YORK, Oct 31, (Agencies): Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, recently took to Instagram to share a heartwarming "dad-daughter road trip" album featuring the world's largest trees, giant sequoias, some of which are over 2,000 years old.

The giant sequoia trees, known for their extraordinary longevity, are believed to live for over 3,000 years. They continue to grow throughout their lives and can reach towering heights of more than 300 feet with a diameter of 30 feet (approximately 9 meters).
According to the Guinness World Records, the tallest living tree in the world is a Sequoia sempervirens located in Redwood National Park in California.
