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.

A mountain lion walked by my house by diablo grande we did not get that one on camera but we got a picture of one in diablo grande so if you go hiking be careful if you see new footprints or fresh poop check all around you bushes, logs, and especially in trees they are excellent climbers.

Looked out our back window this morning and it walked right in front of me. Saw the white tail and couldn’t believe it was a bobcat! We get coyotes and turkeys here but first time seeing a bobcat.

We were continuing the Carson falls path towards the trees going down hill passing the old fire road and we saw it come our if a bush 10 feet away and go up the on the right. Was staring at us for 2 minutes and we decided to cut the hike short due to the close contact and sighting. It was around 4:20 when we saw the puma.

Our neighbor who does not have social media called to let us know so we could share. Her camera triggered with a click at 6 am 12/25/25. She went out front and saw the mountain lion, aprox 90 pounds, walking from side of her house to driveway. Dark brown tail and brown on face. She called sheriff and Animal control who advised to not let animals outside after dark, even on leash. Also to notify neighbors. She has a pic on her trail camera.
