Any idea how many extinct prides still have living members in the form of male lions? I know there's the machaton males & the kumana male. Any Others?

Hercules male (Altough a liones of the Hercules pride was seen a few months ago with the last Ross lioness). Sumatra male (They were born most likely in Northern Timbavati judging at sightings in their younger days)
