'for sharp-eared predator' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'leave audible interconnected trail' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'desert' (desert can mean to leave or abandon).
'audible interconnected trail' becomes 'lynx' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'desert'+'lynx'='DESERT LYNX'

'perhaps' acts as a link.
