I read that book 6 years ago for an English project. I remember wondering the same thing about the end. I guess it was left open for you to choose and I don't think there really is a right answer. I'd go with the animal story though because tigers are cool.

I think the latter is more pessimstic and dark - although can be related as more realistic, I personally am getting an irking that it's actually the latter that is the more correct account, tiger being the metaphor for Pi's savage alternative - the way he tamed it near the end and the way that it unleashed when the orangutan was killed by the hyena - in which case depicts the killing of his mother by the chef, after which he himself kills the hyena - chef. Therefore only him and his savage nature left on that boat by themselves.

Bingo!

Oh my god I just realized. Orangutan gets beheaded by the Hyena too after hitting it, the comparison of how females are smaller than a full grown adult males etc and the account of how Hyena kills the zebra - it's exact. First steals the leg then when zebra dies swims in it' s innards, it all fits, smartly done by the author.

Too bad the author advocates for deluision.
