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.

Due to 105 F temperature there was no one there. I was walking along the trail and suddenly saw a startled bobcat looking at me and trying to figure out whether to run or pause. I took some pictures and a video. It did not run and just sat there all relaxed as about to fall asleep. Might have been the heat.

Saw a bobcat walking along the trail while I was on an early morning run. It looked at me, and ran up a little ways ahead. Stayed 10-15' away - seemed surprisingly comfortable with humans.

Unnoticed by the mountain lion, I was up on a 200' high bluff overlooking the SW side of the North Fork San Antonio River riverbed (mostly dry, couple pockets of standing water), glassing for deer. Directly below me, in the semi-dry riverbed, I notice a very large adult mountain lion slowly traveling in a northerly direction. My range finder pegged him at about 80 yards from my position. The cat went into a large bush by the riverbed. After about 10 minutes of not seeing him come out, I slowly backed down of the bluff and hiked back to my RV trailer. The dispersed campground is about 1/4 mile from my sighting.

I didn't see this mountain lion, but there was a Nixle alert and it was all over our local social media. I don't believe the police saw it when they were out searching. When I found your site I realized this sighting was not on it already.
