You mentioned a quest....I am guessing for the tar beasts, quest from Gadgeztan? They can be found (lower ones, about 49-51 level I think) near the NE corner of the crater, but a few hundred yards in form the walls....look for black tar pits on the map.
Many of the critters you will see as you enter Un' goro and stick to the eastern wall will be neutral. The mobile plants and stone guardians will not attack unless provoked, but be wary of the oozes that also lurk around there a bit, and look a lot like the vegetation until you get very close to them. Then of course there are the pterrordactyls (yes, their name is a pun and a warning about their screech) and the dimetrodons.
Riding away from most mobs is a fine strategy in Un'goro, with the exception of the devilsaurs (tyrannosaurs)...they tend to stun and dismount anything they can catch. Often they will finish off anyone not able to crowd control them (fear, polymorph) very fast (2-6 bites for non-plate), even at 60. They are 54-56 gold elites, and are pretty tough for their level. Yes they are farmed for their hides for devilsaur armor etc., but only by those who are prepared for such fights.
Anyways, yes, 47 is okay to start poking around the crater. There is a flight centre (both factions) in the middle northern wall of the map (Marshal's Refuge), but the graveyard is in the middle eastern wall, so be warned.
