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.

Large mountain lion that was seen wandering around. At one point it laid down in the grass and appeared to be surveying the area. It was a fairly trafficked trail at the time since it was a weekend.

Hiked in Ronald Caspers Wilderness Park near Ortega Highway/Route 74 around 9 am after a recent rain a few days prior. Found multiple tracks of a mountain lion on the East Ridge Trail that would have had to have been in the past 72 hours since the rain. The tracks were fresh and very visible.

Saw it cross Edgewood Road near the 280 entry/exit, north to south. It happened in a blink - so, I’m not 100% sure, but it appeared to have a GPS collar. Such a majestic animal. I hope it was okay after clearing the road rails with a leap.
