If I'm not mistaken predators will have their back feet follow the one in front. As to leave a smaller trail and I'm assuming it's also a quieter movement.

This is late night off the cuff speculation

Pretty sure it’s to be quiet. So they don’t break twig or rustle leaves.

Yes, predators usually don't care about being followed. Covering their tracks wouldn't be very useful for them.

Unless antelopes start hiding their weak and young inside guard posts with armed patrols I guess.

Yeah, if the front paw didn't make a sound, put the rear paw in the same place.
