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.

11:20 pm the cat caught itself only 10 feet from my head! (On the other side of the window of course). The brawl between the cat and what I believe to have been a raccoon lasted only about a minute. A final loud cry from the coon. Then the soft and calm purr from the cat. I waited a minute to move as I was nervous the cat would notice me and I wanted some distance. Went to another window nearby and saw the cat walk past with its prey (about 20 ft away at that point). I was only able to get a pic once it went to the garage. Very cool but a little nervous since it was only 11:20 and there were still cars driving by.
