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.

After noticing fresh, large paw prints going in the same direction as I was I noticed them head left off the trail abruptly after following for about 1/4 mile. When I looked left I saw the large body and tail in the brush, but the light leaked through and hit the coat. I looked for maybe a second and continued on making myself loud and large in slight fear. Unmistakably too large to be a bobcat.

The bobcat was spotted at the bend of the trail going up to the vista point. About 5 minute walk from the parking spot location.

I heard loud squealing, which went on for many minutes, almost like a pig dying. Then pounding next to my door -- it was trying to get into my backyard. I looked out the window and a large animal with a short tail was balancing on my 6' tall fence. The whole fence shook. It left after I made lots of noise and turning on lights. Followed by dogs barking not long after
