· En la LENGUA ESPAÑOLA, el género MASCULINO es el que ENGLOBA a los DOS SEXOS, por lo tanto, si el nombre de la especie no es un sustantivo femenino, ( Ej: La oveja - La paloma - ), nos referimos a ese animal ( Cuyo género desconocemos ), de forma masculina ( Ej: El perro - El gato ).
– RESPUESTA CORRECTA: "Zorro".
( Por ejemplo, cuando un profesor manda callar a sus alumnos, ( Entre los cuales hay chicos y chicas ), el susodicho, no dirá "Chicos, chicas, ¡ Silencio, por favor !", sino que simplemente usará la palabra "Chicos". )
–> Cuando se trata de una gran multitud ( Personas ), o casos como el que has presentado, siempre se utiliza la forma masculina.

@puntoverde In Spanish "zorro" it's the animal (wathever the gender) and an adjective to say that a man is smart, and "zorra" is an adjective but is common that you say it to a woman and is an insult, is a bad word, you better don't use "zorra" because is very offensive
