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.

Bobcat was scent marking and in the photo he is clawing a fallen log to leave his scent using it as a scratching post to sharpen claws. It was also rubbing its chin along branches and eventually walked into a thicket of Coyote Brush.

Bobcat was walking slowly and possibly hunting rodents. It wasn't concerned with people or being near a trail. Seen during the winter just before sunset on an open grassy steep south facing slope in Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve. The bobcat eventually continued on down the slope and out of sight.
