This is an example of indirect observation, where evidence of animal presence is inferred through the tracks left behind rather than directly observing the animals themselves.
The study of the Earth's interior is an example of indirect observation because we cannot directly access or observe it. Instead, scientists rely on seismic waves from earthquakes, magnetic fields, and other indirect methods to infer the composition and structure of the Earth's interior.
This is an example of indirect observation - you are not seeing the animals directly but are viewing evidence of their existence.
indirect observation
An example of an indirect weather observation system is a weather radar. Radar uses radio waves to detect precipitation, such as rain, snow, or hail, in the atmosphere. By measuring the intensity and movement of these precipitation particles, meteorologists can infer information about the weather conditions in a specific area.
Direct observation means looking at it with your own two eyes, feeling it with your fingers (or other body parts), directly hearing it with your ears or directly tasting it with your tongue. Indirect observation means not sensing the object of observation directly but by observing the effects it has on its surroundings. An example of indirect observation might be seeing footprints in the snow and using this as evidence that snow leopards are in the area. Direct observation would be seeing the leopard itself.
Indirect Observation
A good example is animal tracks. You may see, for instance, paw tracks in the sand. You did not see the dog that made those tracks, but you know he was there because the tracks are there. In this case you have indirectly observed the dog.

You are not directly observing it
Direct observation is an instance in which you use one of your senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing, to experience an event that happened in your presence. An indirect observation is basically the opposite of a direct observation in that you observe something after it has happened. Example of a direct observation would be seeing a burning fire, feeling its warmth and smelling the fumes. Or perhaps your eyes get watery from the smoke. The indirect observation would be coming upon an empty campsite and seeing the burnt logs and ashes.
Early geographers used direct observation and modern geographers collect data using indirect observation
