Questions & Answers about Le loup montre sa gueule.

Why does the sentence use gueule for "mouth" instead of bouche?
In French, bouche is used for humans, while gueule is the specific word for the mouth or muzzle of an animal. If you use gueule for a human, it is considered very rude slang, which is where the insulting command Ta gueule ! (Shut up!) comes from.
The wolf is masculine (le loup), so why do we use the feminine sa instead of son?
In French, possessive adjectives must agree with the gender of the thing being owned, not the owner. Since gueule is a feminine noun (une gueule), you must use sa, even though the wolf itself is masculine. English does the opposite by matching "his," "her," or "its" to the owner.
Is the "p" at the end of loup pronounced?
No, the final "p" is completely silent, so loup sounds just like the English word "loo." However, the consonant sound appears in related words, like the feminine form louve (female wolf) where it changes to a "v" sound.
