Chapter 81

In this chapter Pi thinks back on how amazing it was that he survived. He thinks on the fact that Richard Parker is a zoo tiger and not a wild one, meaning he relies on Pi solely for his food and water. He is still unable to believe the relationship he has with the tiger. Pi is living proof that a wild animal like Richard Parker can live with a human lie Pi. He is also living proof that Richard Parker did not attack him when he was sleeping.
