This tree area is also know as a hang out for the lions, so they can pick off unwary hikers.  It is always advisable to join up in large groups when going through this area for protection.  This is like the wagon train concept in the old west.
I guess ignorance is bliss

I strolled through here without troubles, though it wasn't thru hiker 
season. I presume the lions might have been snoozing

Or I was hiking so quietly I was unnoticed
