I’ve been thinking about this the last few days, and while it may have been easiest to explain the mechanics as “smell,” the way it was implemented, you could also explain it as being able to faintly glimpse into the past to see where the humans/predators were several seconds ago.
Just a thought I had because I like thinking about this stuff
