This was when Pi was marking his territory. This may have only been in the book.
Today the boy was agitated me. He held a spear in one hand and a turtle in the other. With the spear he poked around me, with the shell he protected himself. He poked and jabbed at me, it wasn't much fun. I raised up and roared in displeasure, in efforts to frighten him. To my surprise, the boy stood his ground. He had made his point, he was not going to step off.
