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.

He was seen and could tell he was huge and coming down from like the backyards like if he was looking for food or something maybe wanted to get in the yards he did nor see us and kept going down he was tan in color. There is no warning signs of wild animals there at all and lots of older people and kids walk that trail.
