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.

Walked right through our backyard. At first glance he looked just like our orange tabby cat, but then I saw black on his tall ears and more white spots, then the little upward tail. Our cat was out in the backyard closer to the house and when I opened the sliding door the bobcat looked at me and then took off.

It appeared to be a very young mountain lion (much bigger than a house cat, big feet and long tail) walking along Old San Pedro Road just past the farallone trail.

I live at the Concord Mt Diablo Trail Ride Assn. This is private property of about 200 acres, outside the State park, reserved for equestrian use. We've sighted a mountain lion on our property on several occasions over the past several weeks.
Horses alerted me to the presence of the Puma about 25 ft behind me at 8 pm. While its body was obscured by a hill mound, I clearly saw the ears as it quickly moved up the hill.
Another club member said it re-visited the lower barn area again at 8 pm.
I wonder if there might be more than one Puma, because I can't believe one could kill so much. I am saddened that it has wiped out a herd of deer numbering around a dozen that visited me daily. There were two mothers with fawns hanging around my property, often sleeping here, but it's been a couple of days since I've seen them.
I also had a resident flock of 17 turkeys visiting daily. Last seen a few days ago, the count was down to 5. I haven't seen any at all in a few days.
I'm growing concerned about its next food source now that it's wiped out the deer and turkey populations. We love our horses.

Traveling west on Fort Hunter Liggett on Del Venturi Road toward Los Padres National Forest around 9pm. Mountain Lion ran across the road in front of our truck and disappeared into the brush. Even though it was dusk, it was clearly a large mountain lion in the headlights.

Cougar was size of a very large dog. Crossed right in front of my car from right to left and I was headed toward Castro Valley. Brand new foal is close by in a field. I’d be worried!
