This is Pi's first whole day on the boat and night is approching again. Pi is afraid that the hyenna might bocome active again, and stir up all the other animals on the boat. As the night slowly arives Pi's fears become true and the hyenna starts to come alive once again. It starts the night by doing laps as it did earlier that day but as pi's vision starts to decrease on the new moon night, more activities start up. Rather than just the hyenna barking there is also the zebra crying at the hyenna, almost in a battle for life or death.
Pi had to wait until the next morning to figure out what was going on. As soon as the sun starts to come up and light appears he can see that the hyenna was chewing on something. it wasn't until early morning and where there was a lot of sun that he could see what really happened. the hyenna tore off the injured zebra's back leg, and was chewing on it's hide. Pi felt terrible for the poor zebra but wasn't about to do anything about it. he wonders where Orange Juice went off to so he looks around from his spot where he was tring to find her. The hyenna doesn't like it that Pi had stood up tho so he tenses up and barks at Pi, so Pi imediatly falls to the ground not even to look at the hyenna again in fear. as he's laying there he sees Orange Juice and she comes over to him.
Pi thinks she did this because she missed her two babies and Pi was the closest things she had to them. I feel so bad for all of the prey animals on the boat in these two chapters. The poor zebra could do nothing what so ever to defend it's self. Pi and Orange Juice seem pretty defenseless as well so it only leads you to believe that most of these animals are going to die to the over raged, sea sick hyenna.
