Perché è masculine?

Lion is masculine in French because it derives from Latin "leo" (masculine), which was the standard term for the animal and retained its grammatical gender through the Romance language evolution. The masculine form became the default noun for the species, unlike some animals where separate masculine and feminine forms exist (like "tigre/tigresse").
