Stegosaurus: Bony Plates & Tiny Brain Stegosaurus was the largest and most well-known member of the Stegosauridae family of armored dinosaurs. The largest species was Stegosaurus armatus, a behemoth that grew up to about 30 feet (9 meters) long. It is considered a type species, or the species that serves as the primary example of the Stegosaurus genus.tegosaurus is a bit of media darling because there is so much material to help scientists reconstruct its distinctive appearance. It has been depicted on television and in movies, most notably chasing Faye Wray in King Kong and appearing in the second and third installments of the Jurassic Park films.

Giant isopod Giant isopods are a good example of deep-sea gigantism (cf. giant squid), as they are far larger than the typical isopods that are up to 5 centimetres (2.0 in). Bathynomus can be divided into giant species where the adults generally are between 8 and 15 centimetres (3.1 and 5.9 in) long and supergiant species where the adults generally are between 17 and 50 centimetres (6.7 and 19.7 in).

New Giant Pacific Octopus Species With Frills Found Accidentally Off Alaska Shore New Giant Pacific Octopus Species With Frills Found Accidentally Off Alaska Shore By Himanshu Goenka @HimGoJourno On 12/29/17 AT 1:35 AM The Giant Pacific octopus, Enteroctopus dofleini, is a contender for being the largest of all octopus species, but it turns out it is actually at least two distinct species. The GPO has a new cousin which was found accidentally off the coast of Alaska, but it has not been given a scientific name yet. The new species, tentatively being called frilled giant Pacific octopus by the researchers who found it, was discovered when Nathan Hollenbeck and David Scheel from Alaska Pacific University were looking at shrimp by-catch as part of Hollenbeck’s senior-year thesis.

The largest plates were found over the animal's hips and measured 60 cm (2.0 ft) wide and 60 cm tall. One of the major subjects of books and articles about Stegosaurus is the plate arrangement.
