Footprints

I don't know about footprints, but I do know that Birds recognize humans as not the kind of threat to them as say cats or other predators. Birds will flee from humans, but do not call out the kinds of warnings they otherwise would for other critters. I came across this tid bit when reading: "What the Robin Knows" by Jon Young.

You expected it because you know that humans are animals?I was actually waiting for that.

If you knew the answer, why ask the question? Is this just another attempt at a gotcha?I was actually waiting for that.

You don't fully understand my question, do you?
Perhaps if you were a little less suspicious ...

Only humans possess the necessary cognitive skill, combined with eye sight, to recognise tracks.
All other animals rely on scent to notice humans.

I think before we can answer this question we need to ask if the foot print was intelligently designed.

Comparatively speaking I'm not sure how impressive recognizing footprints is, my dog can read pee... now that's impressive!

I seriously doubt that.
Unless by "read" you mean something other than sight recognition.

Others have already said it but I don't think animals visually recognise footprints. I believe they mostly smell or hear their way to their prey or target, using sight when they are close enough.
A police dog might appear to be following a suspect's tracks, but if so it would be using it's sense of smell and hearing, and finally sight if it gets near enough.
We take our dog for a walk most days in an urbun environment. There's not a footprint to be seen, but his little hooter is going non stop along the ground or very close to it. And trees and posts of course ... I counted the number of times he lifted his leg one day and it was about twenty times or more in about a mile!
Mind you he'd run out of supplies after the first three or four stops, and was just going through the motions.
