Animal Face is a modern hybrid-sativa strain developed from the genetics of its sole parent, Animal Mints. It is credited to the modern era of selective breeding, where its genetic architecture prioritizes a high-yield potential. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing the plant in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering period that concludes at 67 days.
The terpene profile of Animal Face is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. These primary compounds collectively shape the sensory profile of the strain. This chemical composition contributes to a distinct aromatic and flavorful experience, grounded in the prevalence of its dominant caryophyllene and myrcene content.
As a THC-dominant cultivar with 24.2% THC, Animal Face provides effects described as creative, uplifted, and happy. These characteristics make the strain well-suited for social interactions, focus-intensive tasks, and the pursuit of creative endeavors. The genetic legacy of the strain continues through its notable offspring, which include Bernside and Animal Face x Kush Mints #11.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
