There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Bheema weighed 225kg @ 2.5 years old.
Him and another huge male called Kingfisher were killed by uma and uma and link 7, his half brother just fought as well with link 7 suffering some pretty good gashes but he made a full recovery. Both are sons of Munna.
Apparently, Jai was also weighed at about that age (220kg)..But WHY??
Neither of them has been radio collared, so why tranq. them..?? Just to weigh?!!!
Both of them were radio collared, Jai twice actually. And yes, Umarpani male did kill kf and bheema.
Thnx for the info.
I did some asking..Turns out nobody knows for sure who killed whom. There was a fight video of Rajaram(Kingfisher) vs Umarpani...The former was pushed back & no death or serious injury occured.
Although, chances are that it was him only, even this time (as Link7 was sighted uninjured just the next day)...
Actually even killer of Bhima was just a guess..Noone saw them fight, just sounds were heard & Bhima was found in Uma's territory.
If all these speculations are true, Link7 is gone for sure!!!
