Corrected entry: Pi should've grown a beard. He was in the boat for days with no shaving utensils.

Corrected entry: After the tiger drags the zebra under the tarp, there is an overhead shot of the lifeboat. There is no blood or any other evidence of an animal kill.

Life of Pi (2012)
Corrected entry: After Pi's father has found him in the back room of the zoo, he feeds a goat to the tiger. The goat is tied on one side (a) with vertical bars which are are about the size of someone's arm in separation distance. When the tiger comes in (side b) he manages to somehow grab the goat and drag him through the bars and away in one piece.
Correction: The goat is in one piece, but it certainly has several broken bones. So long as the skull fits between the bars, there's no reason the tiger couldn't have dragged it through without spilling a drop of blood.
I believe that this is intentional. It is not possible for the tiger to have pulled the goat through the bars, this is in keeping with the fantastical quality of the story and a suggestion that the narrator is not reliable.

Correction: I'm older than Pi was supposed to be, and my hair is much thicker. I can go over a week between shaves with only a minimum of visible stubble.
