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.

So cool! Wagging tail, coloring beautiful - spotted/stripped. Coat seemed bushy/full. I was up hill from bobcat so no eye contact and bobcat hurried off in other direction. Seemed healthy.
