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.

I was on our deck and talking to friends about how o recently saw a bobcat a few weeks ago, and my friend said “Hey, look!”
I have a short video. Not less than 2 minutes later we saw a blacktail deer come out in the same spot! Pretty cool.

Live puma caught on camera, walking around at 4am. Uncollared - maybe young? I think she was a female.

I saw it at dusk from my deck, which backs to a field. It was quite large but didn't look full grown. It was stalking my pet cat and wasn't fearful of me yelling, banging pots or shining a flashlight at it. It stayed until after the sun went down.

Around 4:15am a mountain lion set off a security camera. The lion stopped briefly to look at the camera (it makes a clicking sound when it turns on) and continued on its way.
