Usage notes

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