Given "in the field they may also look like trails." it seems to not

How mappers are supposed to distinguish them from normal paths?
Humans are animals, mammals to be a bit more exact.
The non-human paths I have had most experience of following are made
by sheep in the mountains.
On reasonably level ground they appear very similar to human made
paths, and is tempting to follow them.
The problems come as the ground gets steep, and as you no doubt aware
sheep have small feet which are relatively close together.
The result is that the paths can be deep ruts, that a little more than
10cm wide, not wide enough for a pair of human walking boots to pass.
Wombat pads are wide enough to follow but the animal is lo to the ground
and can go through what to a human is inpenatrable scrub - some is
simply to thiic and interwwoven and some has sharp needle leves that
penitrate colthing and prick the skin.
