What is the heaviest redwood tree or whale?

It's difficult to definitively say which is heavier, a redwood tree or a whale, as both can vary greatly in size.

Here's why:

* Redwood trees: The General Sherman is the largest sequoia (a close relative of redwood) by volume, but the tallest redwood is the Hyperion at over 380 feet tall. These are just two examples, and there are many redwood trees of varying sizes.

* Whales: The blue whale is the largest animal on Earth, with some individuals reaching over 100 feet in length and weighing over 200 tons. However, other whale species are much smaller.

To compare them directly, you'd need to:

* Specify which redwood tree: Are we talking about the tallest, the largest by volume, or a specific individual?

* Specify which whale: Are we talking about a blue whale, or another species?

Here's some general information to help you decide:

* Redwoods are known for their massive volume, meaning they can have a very large weight overall.

* Whales are known for their sheer size and density, meaning they can be very heavy even if they are not as large as redwood trees.

Ultimately, it's impossible to say for sure which is heavier without knowing more about the specific individuals being compared.
