Regarding KF death, no one saw who the killer is. So what we are left with is suggestions and speculation on who the killer may be.
But its a fact that Bheema was seen injured and limping during that time, check my post 835 in tiger directory.
So thats why i said Bheema should have got into a fight with KF or link7 or Uma during the time of KF's death.
Now regarding the recent fight with Uma, Bheema was not fit and well when getting into this fight because of the previous injuries.
Hence I was saying Bheema needs more time to recover before getting into any quarrels.
Hope you understand.

Bheema wasn't seen to have sustained any damage in that time frame, there is a rumor that CM was seen with bruising and scratch marks though

Minh Ha Shaurya, "CM was seen with bruises and scratchmarks recently. He was found close to where KF was found dead as well. There is now a very high possibility Chota Munna killed KF."

But others don't believe CM was large and mature enough to do it
Shaurya Reshamwala "It could only be Uma Male , I don't think Cm is still big enough for Kingfisher also tigresses are also known to kill male tigers there are records of it"

Minh Ha "No, while tigresses like Uma are known to defeat males in protection of cubs, killing of a large male is highly unlikely and KF would have run for his life if he sensed the loss. Also, I agree with Shaurya, in that 2 males who never fought before are very unlikely to fight to death. Going by this behaviour, the only guy who has a long history with KF and knows him the best is Uma male. Plus it was done in Uma male's core territory, that Uma kills him is a 99% possibility."

But apparently the death of KF happened in Uma's core area so it could be a bit of a mystery between the two. But for now, I have seen most agree that it was Uma who was the culprit.



Here you can see a video Bheema looking healthy less than a month before the deadly attack suffered by Uma and this was only a couple of weeks after the death of Kingfisher.

So it looks like Bheema was in fine shape before the incident. On a side note, in regards to size, it is said that Umarpani is the largest tiger in mukki/kahna, not Bheema apparently.
