Tree Well

A Tree Well, also known as a Spruce Trap, is a type of tree in The Lion Guard.
==Information==
A tree's branches shelter the area around its trunk from snowfall. If the snow is deep enough, there is a significant void or area of loose snow underneath the branches around the trunk. Such wells have been observed as deep as 20 ft (6 m). Similar "wells" can also occur near rocks and along streams.
Tree wells occur outside of groomed trails and represent a significant risk to those who ski or snowboard off-piste, in backcountry areas, but can also be found on the boundaries between groomed and ungroomed areas. The risk of encountering one is greatest during and immediately following a heavy snowstorm.
==History==
===The Accidental Avalanche===
When Yuki's Troop is startled by Tafu's Scurry, believing them to be large birds, they run away. The Lion Guard finds the snow monkeys trapped in a pit, which Ono reveals is a tree well. Bunga attempts to rescue them, but ends up getting stuck in the hole as well. He also lets loose his stink on the monkeys, much to their ire.
After a while, it is decided that Anga will pick up the monkeys from the tree well. However, they panic because she is a large bird, and unintentionally make the situation worse by making the well cave in with their movement. Yuki's Troop eventually calms down and is carried out of the well by Anga, along with Bunga.
