@luskywalker could this be Lope from Twycross or Kivu\Kiondo from Paington?

I doubt it will be Lope, I think Twycross will build their own male quarters soon and so he'll stay there. More likely to be another 8 year old in Europe somewhere.

Thanks for the replies!
He would have faced stress for a substantial period. Wish him the best in that all male group.

He is much younger in the earlier photo. I suspect maybe stress from his previous living situation has caused more recent plucking before he left Spain. He would not have time to pluck that amount just during/since the time of a journey.

This video is less than 2 months ago and he has almost all hair, and he is playing. It seems happy to me. He probably had to go through a quarantine period before the trip, and may be streesfull to him, in adiction to a 3 days of trip.

@Pertinax do you think it could be Kivu or Kiondo?

It seems that the first partner of N'guvu at Kazan Zoo is Kvabena from Moscow Zoo
