Answer 1

Not really, no. We might find a few fossilized footprints and wonder what could have made them… but again, that’s a type of fossil.

In fact, it’s likely that only have a tiny fraction of the actual critters that lived even fossilized. Most of the life that came before us will forever remain lost to the mists of time.
