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.

Noticed the cat in the early am, shortly after hearing the turkeys that I believe are nesting somewhere on the hill behind the house. I knocked on the sliding glass door and the animal took off.

Spent 2 days on tracks and took my girlfriend up the ridge to show her my findings and possible location of the cougar as well check the view and wild flowers. At 30 yards from the summit we encountered a large male who was mot happy to see us. I. am certain there is a female as well and the two are mating. Awesome to see. 2md time in my life.

Pretty sure the Puma uses a corridor by our home and beds down on the hill close by. Not bothered, just careful around dusk and dawn.

Bobcat was trotting downhill on the paved Alum Rock Road. I was about a quarter of a mile away looking out across Penitencia Creek on an overlook at on the South Rim Trail within Alum Rock Park. The bobcat was moving quickly and paused to briefly urinate on some bushes.

40-50 lbs with some noticeable light spots and long tail . Brownish gray in color . My son watched this cat cross the road with two other occupants in the car . He is an avid hunter and new it was much larger and longer than a bobcat . Also had a long tail they was almost touching the road.
