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.
Have you seen a puma or bobcat in your neighborhood?

Think he/she is a bobcat. Just sat in the grass around 6pm on my evening walk. Saw some eyes reflecting in the grass about 10ft from the path I was walking along. Looks like a juvenile. Was very calm… I took a few quick photo’s and kept walking

The bobcat was walking in the shadows. It was far away and very skittish. Looked to be a juvenile.

I assume it was a bobcat,but I am by no means an expert. It was much bigger than a house cat and bigger than my French bulldog. It ran across the street (Escalonia) and up a hill right by Redwood blvd.

We saw this cat from a distance of about 40 yards. It was tan with gray features. It was small enough to be a fully grown bobcat. It did not have typical bobcat features; no clearly visible spots, stripes, or tufts. It was not large enough to be a full-grown cougar. My wife spotted the cat as we were driving, I also saw it. My initial reaction was that it was a small cougar. We can't confirm it was a cougar or bobcat; it was obviously much larger than a domestic/feral cat..
