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 riding a electric unicycle Anthony Chabot Regional Park near the Bort Meadow Staging Area when I heard some rustling in the bushes off the trail. I made a u turn and saw a large bobcat hunting in the brush. It looked at me for a few seconds and then walked away slowly into the brush. It was a large bobcat and looked to weigh around 25 to 30 pounds. It didn't see me at first, and after he did, he casually walked into the brush. He was around 7 feet from me.

Hi, I did not see this personally but it was shared on next door. I am leaving a link to where they posted pictures and a video. I also took a screenshot from the video. I do not know the time. Not sure there’s much more I can do to help but if so let me know!

Saw it running down page street in lower Haight area in San Francisco. At Page & Webster street. The map thing wasn't working on here so I couldn't add location that way. This is the second time I've seen one running by at night. The last time was 2 months ago, around midnight. I wasn't sure, because I thought, "A bobcat in SF? NO way!" So I decided to wait to see if I saw it again before I reported it. This time I'm sure. It was trotting by too fast for me to get a pic. It's the size of a medium size dog, with blondish hair.
