Pi is shoked. The hyenna has killed every animal on the boat and now, Pi was the only one left to comfront the hyenna. pi is scared to DEATH of this... until he falls to the ground, hiding from the hyenna, that he sees Richard Parker is still on board. The 450 lb Bengal tiger was still on board. Now Pi is terrified, stuck on a boat between two extreem Preditors.
Compairing the two preditors to each other, Pi walks right past the hyenna, no longer being afraid of the hyenna, to get to the survial locker where he could get some water. when he crawled past the hyenna, it made a loud hiss and yelped at Pi. Pi said it wasn't for the lack of courage, but for the exhaustion and lack of no weapon that he doesn't go after the hyenna.
This is a powerful part of the book because Pi is pretty much looking Death in the face and saying he's not afraid of it. That takes a lot of courage to do that. but I'm not sure... maybe this is his way of giving up.
