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.

This bobcat came through at 7:30pm last night, then back up the hill an hour later. Turn on sound to hear the jays being very upset by the visit, and the bobcat seeming to vocalize frustration. https://youtu.be/ABr7oJgC1OI

Sighted a bobcat on the coastal trail where the biking and hiking trails meet near Rodeo Beach. Cat hopped off the trail in front of us and stared at my husky and I for around about a minute just ~15ft away before it scampered off. If I had to guess, I'd say it was ~15-20lbs.

3.17.22 at 9:00am a single, healthy looking puma walked atop a cement retaining wall along side my home; the wall is between my home and my next door neighbor's driveway. I was in my home and saw the puma through my window. It was walking towards the back of my property which is open space. The following day my neighbor installed a camera on a tree behind his home. Today, 3.25.22, at 1:55am the camera photographed a puma. (photo uploaded). The camera also photographed a bobcat on either 3.19.22 or 3.20.22 at approx 11:00am (currently no photo; will submit if available).
