Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Delfines is masculine because it derives from Latin "delphinus," which inherited the masculine gender from Greek "delphis" (δελφίς), where the -us/-is endings marked masculine nouns in these classical languages. The gender persisted through Old Spanish and into modern Spanish as an arbitrary grammatical feature of the word's etymological inheritance.
