0There are eight dead cubs and three dead lionesses, so 11 dead lionesses in total.
Pride is a collective noun for a group of lions, similar to "flock" for birds or "school" for fish. Basically, there are now three sad male lions who were in a group with (and presumably mates/parents of) the dead lions.
