At one point the lifeboat came upon an island. At first Pi thought he was dreaming, because all he saw was plants. It also looked like the plants were so thick and abundant, that the plants made up the floor of the island. As they got closer Pi realized, what he thought he saw was true. The plants were the ground and it was all plants. Pi saw some kind of plant that looked like seaweed, so he ate it. It was so good, he ate until he was full.
The first time they talked about how strange the island was; I knew something was wrong with it. Not just the fact that there is no beach or dirt, but it gets even weirder. Everything on this island is green. In this section the book tells you Pi's favorite color is green, because green is the color of Islam.
Once Pi starts to explore the island, he finds that the only animals on the island is meerkats. He also finds a few medium sized ponds, which are surrounded by meerkats. There were so many weird things on the island you can't possibly name all of them, but I can name one. The most important thing was that at night all the meerkats ran and slept in the trees. The reason for this was, that at night acid came out of the leaves on the ground and would burn you if you touched or stepped on them. Pi decided to leave the island rather than be poisoned.
