You can find an older studbook, I’ve seen some from the early 2010’s through Google just by searching lion studbook. There may not be access to a current one unless you’re a zookeeper or member of the AZA where animal program managers can see it. Denver Zoo comes to mind of having an all male lion pride, they’ve posted videos and photos of their pride often.
Thank you. I can see Denver has beautiful boys. What I cannot tell is whether they have a pride of a coalition of males living with females.
The coalition of males live separate from the family group. There are no females living with the boys.
Thank you. That is what I thought.
Couple of updates (as reported on the respective zoo’s social media pages):
Lincoln Park Zoo’s lion cubs (Jabari x Zari) have been sexed as all males and are continuing to do well.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s young male Boma (Abuto x Lomela) will be moving to another AZA-accredited facility in California where he will be the only male in the pride. I am inclined to say it will be SDZSP but we shall wait and see.

ABQ Biopark Zoo's two lions will be moving to an unspecified AZA zoo.
Another update! This time, a very unfortunate one 
0.1 Sukari (Elson x Angie) has recently passed away at San Francisco Zoo at the age of 20. This leaves San Francisco with a single male, her son Jasiri.

As someone who is very familiar with the San Francisco Zoo Lions since 1997, the loss of each one has been tough. Sukari was a wonderful Lady who knew me and always gave me some blinky eyes when I greeted her.
I'm responding to this post, as stated, her passing leaves her son Jasiri alone. SFZoo was due to acquire two females from Oregon Zoo while Sukari was still here. That deal fell through, and allegedly SFZoo Director doesn't want to pursue other options? So, Jasiri may end up being alone for some time. No Lion should be alone unless a senior and for health and/or safety purposes. The possibility of him alone indefinitely is very distressing. Hoping the SSP steps up, finds him some companions and insists the Zoo accept them.
Lincoln Park Zoo - the zoo’s 3 male cubs (Jabari x Zari) have been named Pesho, Sidai, and Lomelok (reported on the zoo’s social media pages).
(2.0) African lions named Oskar and Tatu from Denver Zoo in Colorado will be transferred to other unspecified AZA facilities in early April.

Is this move for a breeding recommendation? Aren’t the girls related to Boma? Both of their fathers, Abuto & Ayotunde are brothers.
No, it is not. CMZ has stated this transfer is for socialization purposes and not for breeding.

Oh, okay thanks. I didn’t see that.
