Usage notes

• The gender of this Portuguese zoonym is always masculine: when the gender of the being itself must be specified, use “macuquinho-baiano macho” for male, and “macuquinho-baiano fêmea” for female. Here, fêmea is treated as an undeclinable noun and don't necessarily need to agree in gender with the referent, but would change to fêmeo if so.
