Laboratory-formulated diets designed for a generic " large " or " giant " breed are unlikely to take the needs of the big sighthounds into account.

Others, such as raccoons and bears, depending on the local habitat, are more omnivorous ; the giant panda is almost exclusively a herbivore, but will take fish, eggs and insects, while the polar bear's harsh habitat forces it to subsist mainly on prey.

The Eurypterids were also diverse, and are represented by such genera as Eurypterus, Glyptoscorpius, Anthraconectes, Megarachne ( originally misinterpreted as a giant spider ) and the specialised very large Hibbertopterus.

In the case of Arcturus, this was an interesting discovery as it is known that the redder ( more towards or within the M spectral class ) a giant gets, the more variable it will be.

Puhvel supported the “ Hand and the Child ” theory through such motifs as “ the more powerful giant mother, the mysterious light in the cave, the melting of the sword in blood, the phenomenon of battle rage, swimming prowess, combat with water monsters, underwater adventures, and the bear-hug style of wrestling .”

Some relatively lightweight exoplanets, only a few times more massive than Earth ( now known by the term Super-Earth ), are known as well ; statistical studies now indicate that they actually outnumber giant planets while recent discoveries have included Earth-sized and smaller planets and a handful that appear to exhibit other Earth-like properties.

It is known that small planets ( of roughly Earth-like mass or somewhat larger ) are more common than giant planets.

However, this type of massive star eventually evolves into a cooler red giant which rotates more slowly and thus can be measured using the radial velocity method.
