Can animals recognize tracks?

I know animals are much more attuned to scents, but are they capable of recognizing visual cues of another animal's passage? Is the art of tracking a unique human skill? If so, then it could be a reason to develop big brains and advanced communication skills. Anyone know if any anthropoligists have proposed this?

I have suggested that the Trackway article () be merged into this one. Rwood128 (talk) 15:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have changed my mind. Another route is probably better. Rwood128 (talk) 12:29, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Is there a reason that Animal track, spoor, and pugmark are different pages? :) ~2026-22819-37 (talk) 18:51, 13 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
