Above is a lion's weight development chart. Between 2.5 yrs and prime, a lion will put on 152% of its weight at the age of 2.5 yrs. At 223 kg at 2.5 yrs of age, this chart would predict a humongous Bheema. What do you think @Vijay Rajan ?

tigerluver, I wouldn't speculate on Bheema's current weight & much rather await hard data in case he's tranquilized in future. I also wouldn't draw comparisons with Lions as I haven't studied about them extensively. 

The info shared by Pckts regarding the 2.5 yr old Baghin Nala Male cub having weighed 225 Kgs at the time of his death is also true as per data recorded by Pench forest officials who'd carried out the post mortem procedure. A picture of him is attached herewith. Thanks ! Reply
