Circus Animal
Also known as: Circus Animals
Overview
Circus Animal is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that represents the convergence of two distinct genetic lineages. The most widely recognized version is a cross between Animal Mints and Ice Cream Cake, developed by Seed Junky Genetics, creating a potent strain known for its complex flavor profile and balanced effects. There is also a variant from 808 Genetics that represents an Animal Cookies IX2 backcross, having been crossed into itself five times to lock in specific terpene characteristics. The strain is characterized by dense, colorful buds that display rich aubergine and midnight blue hues transitioning to emerald and lime greens. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, indicating high cannabinoid content. Users report THC levels ranging from the low 20s up to 33.44%, making this a particularly potent variety. The strain's appearance and structure suggest classic cookie-family genetics, with the dense, resin-glazed buds typical of modern hybrid cultivars. The name reflects both its circus-themed branding and the complex, almost carnival-like flavor experience it provides.
