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.

Bobcat was calmly walking down our hill outside of our fence and on to our driveway. No time to get a picture!

Looked out my bathroom window to the hill behind where I live. In the bushes by the tree line, there was an animal larger than a coyote with very catlike movement.

I was with several friends , at the old unused train bridge in between Pleasanton and sunol late night at 2 am , we were down on the dry riverbed , heard chirping circling for 30 minutes about 50 yards out above us on the top of an embankment, saw the MTN Lion about 40 ft away from us and 25 feet above us block the moonlight through some bushes,I alerted friends and, it jumped down to the riverbed did a yodel/scream and Started purring so loud you could feel it in your chest , it was about 130-160 lbs 7+ ft around nose to tail decently sized , looked healthy , it was about 20 ft away with its tail swishing , we were 5 people we started making noise and backing away slowly as we back tracked the cat followed parallel feet away in long river grass , as we walked about 100 yards back to the train bridge and out to the dirt parking lot. As it walked next to us it was purring and you could hear it's breath . We got to the bridge got up to the top of the tracks about 30 feet and it was gone . Went back days later and found old kills and scat and tracks . It was an experience I'll always remember. Wasn't overly aggressive I thought it was a solitary male ,not a female with cubs.
