Longleat Safari & Adventure Park Names of lions at Longleat

Are there other males in the prides? Potentially could it be a breeding management decision? Rather than castrate/vasectomise the males or implant all the females just simply remove the males from the pride?

Males in Longleat are as follows(I could be wrong though) :
Pride A
Harry: lives with 7 females in one pride
Pride B
Simba
Klaus
Castrated males:
Sylvester
George
Jumba
Toby
Dandy
Ghost

However of the 6 castrated males above I believe one has died in the last 2/3 years but no confirmation of who

Pride hasnt bred since 2014/2015 - all males are castrated / had vasectomies

Confirmed on Animal Park that castrated lion Ghost has died this year due to liver failure.
Unsure who he was born to or year of birth(2011 or 2014 is my guess)

I don’t think Boxy posts anymore but I genuinely loved their posts - so informative.Also I’ve since watched the episode referring to the boys retiring and obviously acknowledge the pride dynamic and safety issue.
