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 video shows the lion walking past the steps to our house, about 40 ft from the front door - we lost a cat about a day before this video. I have reported before and there have been multiple sightings at this location.

Observed spotted cat (bobcat?) hop out of the brush across creekbed about 30 yards away from path. It rustled around for a few minutes and could not get clear shot to take picture so we walked away backwards--we were on paved trail near East Branch Park. Size looked big, like a 25-30 pounder.

My partner and I were hiking in the Villages trail network and spotted a mountain lion for a couple seconds crossing the trail in front of us maybe 50ft away. I'm quite certain it was a mountain lion as we also ran across a bobcat earlier in the trail which was significantly smaller. The color and size all seemed right.

Entered our backyard at approximately 10:30pm. Wandered around for about 2 minutes like he was looking for something (maybe just an exit) we did not see which way he left.

Noticed the cat in the early am, shortly after hearing the turkeys that I believe are nesting somewhere on the hill behind the house. I knocked on the sliding glass door and the animal took off.

Spent 2 days on tracks and took my girlfriend up the ridge to show her my findings and possible location of the cougar as well check the view and wild flowers. At 30 yards from the summit we encountered a large male who was mot happy to see us. I. am certain there is a female as well and the two are mating. Awesome to see. 2md time in my life.
