information about animals and their nature.
habitual...animals prefer habit.
[ reflection: same thing can be applied to humans. human to gods, humans to authority, women (traditionally submissive) to men (traditionally leaders) ? ]
ending reveals a more grim actual happening of events, covered up by Pi to cope with the craziness.
which story to believe? either makes sense. the animal one is fantastic but plausible, the other mundane and dark. religion is like that? the canons are like the fantastic?
also, why do people (as the 2 japanese at the end of story) want to believe the mundane one? more predictable? people only believe what they can believe? that's one side. the other side (animals and fantastic) hard to believe so rejected? same for religion? flaws on both sides? one does not want to accept fantastic stories that don't fit in with historical trends or already comfortable data and ideas? other side might be lost in fantasy?
hint that the dark story (without animals but with humans killing one another) is the right one
...forgot what it was.
