Perché è feminine?

Faunes is feminine in French because it derives from Latin "fauna," the feminine form of the name of Faunus (a Roman god of nature), which was used by Linnaeus in the 18th century to denote the animal life of a region—and Latin feminine nouns ending in "-a" typically became feminine in French. It's an exception to the general rule that French words ending in "-e" can be either gender, but the Latin feminine origin accounts for its consistent feminine gender.
