==== Usage notes ====
The gender of this Portuguese zoonym is always masculine: when the gender of the being itself must be specified, furriel-macho for male and furriel-fêmea for female. Here, fêmea is treated as an undeclinable noun and doesn't necessarily need to agree in gender with the referent, but would change to fêmeo if so.
