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.

Warned by unusual activity of two ravens I was looking directly at the area where a large female with two young cubs emerged from my lower pasture (forest) and crossed the backyard about 25-30’ from me as I sat in my hot tub. They didn’t seem to see me and sauntered past me seemingly on their way to the open space not far beyond.
Later that day I found the remains of a fresh raccoon kill down in the forest. Out beyond the house about 80’- 90’ I also found the not fresh remains of a three point buck killed sometime before.There have been numerous reports of sightings over the years; despite having lived here for 34 years, it was the first sighting on my property that I know of, although I did hear a puma screaming as it crossed our pasture several years ago (5-6?).

The animal was resting in a meadow. Got up, stretched (so yes, we are sure it was a puma) and lie down again.

It came in the yard and killed two baby goats. I walked towards the goats to check on them between 12:00am- 3:00am and I send the mountain lion ripping the baby goat open. Around the same time I also seen a all jet black mountain lion short hair very muscular.

I'm not an expert, but it seemed as larger or larger than I expected any bobcat to be. It proceeded north toward Tyler Court.

Our chickens were making a lot of noise and we went outside to find a cougar on the fence with a chicken in his/her mouth and it jumped in the neighbor's back yard and kept jumping from back yard to back yard until we could no longer see it.
