Can some animals (predators or prey) understand the meaning of visual tracks of other animals in the snow or in mud etc

No, they cannot understand differentiating tracks but they can differentiate the smells that come with the tracks.

I am not sure whether they see the tracks or smell them. Most of the animals have highly developed scent organs and they track their prey and each other by the spoor, i.e. smell.

Hmmm, how long did it take which you would be able to earnings to talk? they don't have language skills, yet in case you have been speaking to them and education them for 10, 12, 15 years -- i think of they learn. i understand my 14 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous cat DOES understand what I say to her. Being that she is the unique scaredy cat and afraid of the vaccuum, considering the fact that I informed her those days to stay positioned because of the fact i grew to become into in user-friendly terms going to vaccuum a patch of carpet midway around the room -- and he or she DID stay -- she understood!! *LOL* i think of they understand lots better than human beings provide them credit for. they only don't have the means to sort our words, yet they're very effectual at speaking with us whether.

No. They don't even notice. Predators follow scent trails, not foot prints. And, by the way, wild animals don't understand anything except hunger and fear. And to avoid humans.
