Puma & Bobcat Sightings Map
While many people are confident they've seen a puma, not all of these sightings are accurate. The map below includes both confirmed and unverified puma sightings in the larger San Francisco Bay region (and beyond) since 2004.
Over time, this will help us evaluate problem areas, movement barriers for wildlife, and potential for human-puma conflict.

Looked out our back window this morning and it walked right in front of me. Saw the white tail and couldn’t believe it was a bobcat! We get coyotes and turkeys here but first time seeing a bobcat.

We were continuing the Carson falls path towards the trees going down hill passing the old fire road and we saw it come our if a bush 10 feet away and go up the on the right. Was staring at us for 2 minutes and we decided to cut the hike short due to the close contact and sighting. It was around 4:20 when we saw the puma.

Our neighbor who does not have social media called to let us know so we could share. Her camera triggered with a click at 6 am 12/25/25. She went out front and saw the mountain lion, aprox 90 pounds, walking from side of her house to driveway. Dark brown tail and brown on face. She called sheriff and Animal control who advised to not let animals outside after dark, even on leash. Also to notify neighbors. She has a pic on her trail camera.

It has been hanging around for at least a week or more. There use to be a lot of ground squirrels. Not so much. Think they are eating them. We look at open space and this is where we have seen the bobcat.

Another Fall afternoon visit from a Bobcat along a trail used by a lot of the wildlife in the area! In this series of videos (4) the Bobcat travels along the trail (part of Southwood Valley) from Southwest to Northeast. The Bobcat must have finished work early and is heading home?
