Sue, I'm pretty sure that there was a recent picture of him on Dudley's facebook page.
I certainly hope he's ok, and like you was a little surprised that he taken away with little info given. They do have a new boy now though.

He's fine - This is the Facebook page of the place he went to. Several pictures of him and his new female alive and well

Thanks all for the help I am so relieved now to know he is well!! They moved him in hope that the new male would breed with kyra and asha as itar never produced cubs. Mwamba is from Paignton zoo he has only been at Dudley for just over a week.
