Disappearing giants: Many were alive during the reign of Julius Caesar and bear more leaves than there are people in China. At 300 feet tall, the giant sequoia pictured above (and on our Instagram) towers above neighboring white firs in California's Sequoia National Park. Despite their resilience, climate change is threatening the mammoths—up to 19 percent of sequoias died between 2020 and 2021, Nat Geo reports.
We took Munin and Mousey for a walk in Sequoia national forest where the giant redwoods are in California. Mousey rested in his belt pouch the whole time, with his nose peeking out to smell everything. I will be posting a lot of pictures from the walk soon!
