Animal Face strain

Animal Face, also listed as Animal Face #10, is a hybrid of Face Off OG and Animal Mints bred by Seed Junky Genetics; Fig Farms’ cut won first place for indoor flower at the 2022 Emerald Cup, and it was the top-selling strain on the East Coast in 2025.1,2,3,4 It tests at a median total THC of 24.49% across 335 state lab tests of Animal Face flower, with the middle half of results between 21.20% and 27.44%.5 CBD is negligible: none of the 227 tests that reported CBD reached 1%.5

The Mask-Maker, an upright red fox with amber-gold fur, a white muzzle and round spectacles pushed up on her forehead, stands in front of a tall gold staircase that climbs to a bright light at the top, between cobalt-blue curtains. She holds a carved hare mask painted cream and gold up beside her face in one paw and rests the other paw in a pocket of her cobalt-blue apron, which is full of paintbrushes, over a cream shirt with rolled sleeves. Two more carved animal masks, one cream and one gold, sit in the lower corners.

Quick answers

Is Animal Face indica or sativa?

A hybrid, and the labels split. AllBud lists 60% sativa, ILGM 80%, and SeedFinder calls it mostly sativa, while Leafly rates its effects mostly calming and Weedmaps notes that cuts from some cultivators are sold as indica-leaning. Its parents pull both ways: Leafly files Face Off OG as an indica and Animal Mints as a hybrid.1,2,6,7,10,11,12

What strain is Animal Face?

A cross of Face Off OG and Animal Mints from Seed Junky Genetics, which Leafly also lists as Animal Face #10. Weedmaps describes it as old-school OG funk paired with the sweeter, mintier side of the Cookies family.1,2

How strong is Animal Face?

Stronger than most strains in our data. The median total THC across 335 state lab tests was 24.49%, and 46.6% of tests reached 25% or more; that median is the fourth-highest of the 43 strains with at least 100 tests in our dataset.5 By state, medians ran from 22.96% in Michigan (108 tests) to 30.47% in Maryland (43).5 Leafly lists 30% and rates it higher in THC than average.1

What does Animal Face taste like?

Pine, fuel and mint, by most accounts. On Weedmaps, 44% of flavor reports say earthy, 32% diesel and 24% skunk; Leafly users list menthol, mint and diesel, and AllBud diesel, nutty, pine, sugary and sweet. Leafly credits the piney, gassy side to Face Off OG and a cookie-flavored smoothness to Animal Mints.1,2,6

Who bred Animal Face?

Seed Junky Genetics, according to Leafly, Weedmaps, SeedFinder and High Times; SeedFinder says its founder, known as JBeezy, started Seed Junky in a small Southern California garage in the early 2000s. One Rythm product listing instead says Animal Face was originally bred by the Washington brand From the Soil farms.1,2,7,9,13,14

What is Rythm Animal Face?

Animal Face flower sold under the Rythm brand. Its Weedmaps listing gives the same Face Off OG × Animal Mints lineage but calls it both sativa-dominant and “potent indica-leaning”; Illinois News Joint bought it at a Rise dispensary in Effingham, Illinois, in 2023, and Leaf Magazine reviewed it in 2025.14,15,16

Fig Farms’ Animal Face, hunted from seed, won first place for indoor flower at the Emerald Cup on May 14, 2022, in the competition’s “OG & Gas” terpene class, a win SeedFinder says earned the strain even more fame.3,7 The next year Fig Farms placed it fifth, while Blue Face, a sister phenotype from the same Seed Junky seed pack, won the category and Best in Show.13,17
