10+ Great Dane Pictures That Prove They Might Grow Big But Never Grow Up

Let’s talk about Great Danes.

Watch Animal Planet documentaries, and you’ll find some large creatures in the animal kingdom who use their size to scare and hunt. They look quite ferocious with their big limbs and mouths. That’s what many people think of when they see a Great Dane for the first time. To them I say, you couldn’t have strayed further from the truth.

Great Danes are originally from Germany and they can be around 30 to 33 inches tall from paw to shoulder on average and can weigh up to 190lbs or more. The tallest Dane was Zeus who measured 44 inches from paw to shoulder. Imagine if he were to stand up on his hind legs. Yet, these humble beasts are the friendliest and scare easily!

The American Kennel Club has ranked Great Danes at the 24th position for their popularity. So if you are one of their fans or are just curious how they fit in human families, here are pictures of Danes from all over the internet for you to enjoy!
