Chapters 46 - 48 [149-166]

More and more sharks start to appear around the life boat, and Pi has slim hopes for survival. The sharks swim swiftly through the water straight at the life boat then dive to prevent hitting it.  Pi watches this in half amusement, but also half scared to death by the activity.  This is when the hyena becomes active again.  It would pounse right on the dying zebra and rip folds of it's stomach piece after piece. The zebra does not die instantly tho. I though it was devistating that an animal wont die even though it's in that much pain, and like in this zebra's case, being eating alive, from the inside out.
The hyenna almost seems to be killing with rage because after its attack on the zebra, it goes after Orange Juice. Orange Juice is able to defend itself once by giving the hyenna a hard blow to the head. He wasn't able to do it again tho. The second attack made by the hyenna was right on the mark. drove it's tight jaws right on the orangutan's neck and ripped it's head straight off.
