Animal 18 Dec 2011 Weird to have two prides with many males but only one female. So two prides are indoors when one is out?

Two face each other across a water moat: http://www.zoochat.com/1070/lion-country-yorkshire-wp-02-05-a-212580/ The third is the other side of the public walkway: http://www.zoochat.com/1070/lion-country-yorkshire-wp-18-07-a-161734/ So all three prides are out unless there is a particular reason to keep one in (and they rotate between paddocks). It's probably the best African Lion exhibit in the UK, I'd say.
