Why is it masculine?
Jabalíes is masculine. While the word does derive from Arabic "jabalī" (wild, of the mountain), borrowed into Spanish during the medieval period, the masculine gender is not explained by the Arabic source word's gender. Rather, "jabalí" is masculine in Spanish because it refers to a male animal (specifically a male wild boar), and words for male animals typically take masculine gender in Spanish. The word has been lexicalized as a masculine noun in Spanish regardless of its Arabic etymological origins.
