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 neighbor Sherry Rufini let everyone know she saw a mountain lion in her back yard and we thought we saw it too. it was about 9am this morning. This is a very hilly area with lots of turkeys and deer to hunt! A Bobcat also lives here and had two kittens a few years ago that we watched grow up.

I’ve seen a mountain lion twice in the area during August and captured it on camera in September. The video is of it chasing our cat, who hasn’t been seen since. One of the workers in the area saw it again today 10/5/2022. All three in person sightings have been during the day and on the dirt road here as someone is driving

Captured on security camera drinking water from a bird bath. Small cat compared to other sightings. Seemed just a bit larger than an adult Bobcat.

I saw it with two cubs coming by to drink from our pool and later during the day it was wandering around in my backyard. I tried scaring it but it was pretty stubborn and even though I threw objects at it, it went and sat in the shade for a while.

Puma emerged from park and walked down our driveway. Just living their best life. I have a video that is only 14MB but this site says it's too large to upload.
