Explanation:
whether you suppose them only existing in their appropriate
wilderness, or whether you suppose a thousand Pairs.

depende de você supô-los existindo em seu próprio habítat ou supor mil pares (em cativeiro)

Acho que os 'mil pares' sejam de cativeiro. Caso não, desconsidere.

Não entendo por que motivo a palavra 'Pairs' está em maíuscula.
