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.

Saw a fairly long, feline body type scurry into the brushes as I was coming up the trail with my dog on leash. Did not get a clear view of the head, and cannot confirm whether it was a puma, but it was much too big to be any number of other potential animals we occasionally get around these parts. And it moved very quickly, low to the ground. Stayed in the scrub as we ascended. Wish I had been able to get a photo, but not the right circumstances.

While I was taking out the recycling my friend was in the top carport area looking down in my direction and got my attention and told me to get inside because right below the balcony where my complex’s trash bins are a mountain Lion was laying down in the shade, below the stairs. She said what caught her eye was the long catlike tail movement, but it was very large and clearly not a cat

Just a little heads up that we had a visitor last night around 3:40AM at the top of Cuesta Real. I've had our wildlife camera pointed at the street for about 6 months and this is the first time I've caught a mountain lion on camera. Our night visitor skunk went by at 3:38AM and I was worried about him, but at 3:44AM, the skunk was captured on film going the other direction. So I guess the mountain lion knows who not to tangle with.
