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.

Mtn Lion was laying in the grass off the trail. We saw it from about 150 feet away. The lion did not care that we were there. We had to go off trail to get around it. We couldn't get a good picture it was too far away
