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.

I can only speak for my self.
First: kingfishers size
I have seen tigers up close, I know what a 470lb tiger looks like and I know what his brother looks like. To try and determine which is "heavier, longer or taller" would be very hard.
Imagine this but in the wild, seeing different tigers from different angles and distances, then trying to determine if one is larger or smaller than another you have seen in the past, it would be very difficult.
That being said, I tend to take people's word if they have seen both individuals, especially if they frequent the area. Like naren, Vijay, sahil, tharun etc.
I feel like I have seen more speak on Bheema being a very large tiger compared to more speak on kingfisher being a very robust aka (fatter tiger in some people's eyes)
Does this mean that Bheema weighs more than KF, of course not. KF could very easily weigh more, but in terms of frame, the feeling that I get from most who have seen both is that Bheema is probably the "larger" tiger, at least when it comes to body frame.
Second: Dominance
When it comes to dominance, I feel like that is yet to be figured out. We know KF looked dominant over uma but we also know KF gave up the territory they fought over. Was it due to uma's tenacity or just a lack of interest by KF?
Bheema and link 7 also have their own history of fights between the others as well.
Either way, the dominance issue remains to play out and it's very possible that all mukki males could "at times" be more dominant over the others.
