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.

The bobcat was sighted in the morning in one backyard. S/he then went on to attack two chickens in the neighboring backyard around late morning. We believe s/he ate one chicken entirely. Then s/he was seen in the next neighbor’s backyard that night.

I was walking my dog at 7:45pm. My dog hesitated as we approached George street but I encouraged him to keep going, and as we passed the driveway on our left, an animal came out of the shadows of the driveway towards us. As first I thought maybe it was a coyote but as we walked past and it circled around behind us I turned and saw it’s face - definitely a mountain lion! It was a small one, about the same size as my dog who is a lean 65 pounds. The puma stopped to watch us after it circled behind us and I grabbed my phone to use the flashlight. I made loud noises as I slowly walked backward, doing my best to keep my dog behind me. I walked backward into the lighted driveway behind me and called my partner to come pick us up.
