Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?
Elefantes is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "elephantus," which inherited the masculine gender from Greek "ἐλέφας" (elephas), where the word naturally took masculine grammatical gender despite referring to an animal that could be either sex biologically. This gender assignment simply persisted through the Romance languages as an arbitrary grammatical convention rather than following any logical rule.
