Have you seen the pregnant female of the stable?

Female animal or organism within a species.

mujer: Adult human female, a woman in social and legal terms.
macho: Male of an animal species or a male organism.

Término para el miembro de sexo femenino dentro de una especie, especialmente en animales; contrapuesto a 'macho'.

Derived from Latin femella, the diminutive of femina 'woman', with the original f changing to h in the evolution to Spanish hembra.

The written h is silent, so hembra is pronounced like 'embra', and Spanish speakers normally say mujer rather than hembra for a human female because the latter has a biological or formal tone.
