Naren said bheema is "taller" while Uma has the "largest head of all the mukki males"  and Sahil said bheema has a "heavy body"  and says uma has a "larger head and limbs."
It could be like splitting hairs between the two of them, even kingfisher and uma when they fought were close in size, kingfisher did look larger though and most say that kingfisher is just a dense, robust and even "fat" tiger.
Much like how some used to describe Wagdoh.

Either way, mukki is like the wild west of tiger land.... 4 males sharing a small territory, but I do notice that the females there seem to have a tough time protecting cubs which is why they mate with multiple males so often. I wonder what makes mukki so desirable?

Edit: To be fair, bheema is a bit closer to the camera than Uma, both are close in size, that's for sure.

A little more info on the size of Bheema compared to Uma

Sahil AK

Thin Stripe Male and Kankata. Summer 2013
2 Territorial Kings of kanha and Successful Fathers. Their litters are now ruling over mukki.
One Gifted us One of the Strongest and Glamourous female called " Dhavajhandi aka HP female " and other gifted us the Fully Loaded Tank called " Bheema "
unfortunately they both gt vanished surprisingly..

Sahil AK "Minh between uma and bheema. except the facial size I found bheema bigger in any manner ... bt still many says uma is huge male of mukki range. even sometimes I felt so, but just sometimes while comparing in photos. but practically I always found bheema little more in size and shape,.."

Looks like Bheema is larger than uma, at least according to Sahil, I also thought so judging off of their video together, but it's nice to get a little clarification from someone who sees them often.



But don't think that Uma isn't a large boy in his own right, especially when discussing his head/neck size.

Uma Male has the biggest head and neck that I have seen it's insane in fact his paws are humongous
