La cara o rostro es la parte frontal de la cabeza de un animal que presenta tres de los órganos de los sentidos de la cabeza, los ojos, la nariz y la boca, y a través de la cual los animales expresan muchas de sus emociones. El rostro es crucial para la identidad humana, y daños como cicatrices o deformidades del desarrollo afectan negativamente a la psique.
