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.

My mom got up last night at 1am ish cause the horses were banging around in the barn and you could hear it. She put on the security lights, heard a weird sound like a sprinkler, and when she looked outside it was crossing our lawn! Our dog has been acting really scared and strange outside the past two days, so that makes sense now. He has been barking a lot after sniffing the air.

This is our third sighting of this spectacular bobcat in my backyard since the fire on July 21 that came very close to our neighborhood burning over 900 acres of open space. It is extremely beautiful, and looks very healthy. I’m thinking it is a young male since it is larger than other bobcats I have seen in the past.

This was a taller sized cat, looked like a bobcat that walked across my yard and tried to get a picture but it quickly left.
