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.

There has been a family of foxes (1 mama, 2 babies) under our deck and in and around our yard since June. 5 (when we first saw the babies - I suspect they were born under the deck about a month before that??). Last night at 11:15pm I heard an awful sound and saw a mountail lion get one of the baby foxes. The mountain lion ran away when it saw me (I was inside). The baby fox was badly mamed and struggled on our deck before pulling itself off the deck into it's den under the deck. The mountail lion then returned and I watched it as it stalked the site. I never saw it retrieve the injured baby from under the deck. Mama fox returned about 30 minutes later and called out and prowled the area for about 3 hours - I am assuming trying to locate the other baby? I have lived in Marin since 1977 and have never seen a mountain lion - not even in open space. Absolutely stunned to see it in my fenced yard in Terra Linda.

Two mountain lions walked up our driveway around 8:00 pm (still light out). One dashed into the woods by the creek, the other continued to follow the driveway until it ended and it headed into the woods, up the hill.

A bobcat walked across my back yard and hopped over the fence into neighbor’s yard. Happened so fast I did not have the chance to film or take photo.

Walked right through our backyard. At first glance he looked just like our orange tabby cat, but then I saw black on his tall ears and more white spots, then the little upward tail. Our cat was out in the backyard closer to the house and when I opened the sliding door the bobcat looked at me and then took off.

It appeared to be a very young mountain lion (much bigger than a house cat, big feet and long tail) walking along Old San Pedro Road just past the farallone trail.
