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.

I did not personally witness this, but my client called me to tell me she had just had a close encounter with a mountain lion here, just after Noon today. It seemed to have been flushed out by the barking dogs of another hiker further down the hill, and ran into the chaparral. It then re-emerged, crossed the trail, and went back into the chaparral again.

Saw the bobcat around 7 AM run from our backyard behind our neighbors. First time seeing a bobcat in the area, although not unusual given the terrain and other sightings in the Lake Matthews area.

While hiking with my dog I came across this deer carcass, the gut pile was partially covered with grass and soil. The carcass was about 20 yards from the gut pile. Most likely a mountain lion kill.
