Puma sighting at Wadsworth Ave at Laurel Ave in Los Gatos, 95030

The cat was walking up Laurel towards apartment building on right. It was not disoriented. Probably 100 lbs

Mountain lion spotted near the Girl's Park (closer to Barbecues). I only saw it running up the cliff away from me.

I never thought to report my sighting online, and the date is most likely not accurate, but I spotted a large bobcat a few years ago at this location while I was walking my dog around 3:35AM. I know that it was a bobcat because of its distinct features. It had large paws, a sausage-like tail, tufted ears, a flat face, and when it ran East, it brought its legs together at the center like a "V" shape.

Saw a large mountain lion while ascending Black Mountain Trail on July 3. The cat was slowly moving through the shadows on the uphill side of the trail, near the last set of switchbacks that is fully under the cover of trees. It was easily less than 100 feet from me, moving away, uphill at a diagonal angle and showed no interest in me. I determined it was an ML, not a bobcat or large dog based on its size, which I could clearly see and the way it moved (quiet and catlike). I watched it for about 30 seconds before heading back down to Rhus Ridge parking lot, sharing this information with everyone I saw on the way down. No pics, video or more detailed location data.

Teenager crossed the road. May have an injury to foot as limped a little

I was hiking up the Laurelwood Park Trail with my dog and we were almost at the summit of the trail when I saw the back end of what I believe was a mountain lion retreating off of the trail ahead of me and into the brush. While I did not see the entire cat, I saw its back half and it had the distinctive thick, long mountain lion tail with a darkened tip. I immediately turned around and made my way down while trying to keep an eye behind me. I did not see it again. I will not be so foolish as to hike that late up there again!

Camera caught mountain lion

On June 22, 2019, I was In my backyard, walking toward the 8 foot chain-link fence between my backyard and my neighbor's, when I glimpsed a moderately large, long, lean animal with a thick, long tail almost to the ground and the tip of the tail curved up. It had short, golden brown fur and was about 10"“12 feet from me.

It was a thrilling experience even just to glimpse such a beautiful wild creature in such close proximity to me!

Lion eating dead deer carcass

#107M Caught on trail cam.

Saw a Puma concolor (mountain lion) at the bottom of Whiskey Ridge. Near Moore Creek side of Lake Hennessy.Estimate it to be about the size of a retriever , maybe 50 to 60 pounds (guessing). It quickly disappeared into the Thanks woods. Path workers report seeing fresh tracks near their work.

Carcass with clean eating pattern, expect it was a mountain lion. Heard strange noise last night at dusk around 9pm, along with a dog who wouldn't go outside. Vultures this morning led to carcass.

It was stalking a deer in our backyard just before dust. It was big, adult mountain lion with a tracking collar

At about 11:15 p.m., my Aussie Shepard mix dog asked to go outside and I stepped out with him. My dog stopped about ten feet from the door, refusing to go further into the yard. I looked in the direction he was staring/sniffing and saw a cougar about 20 feet away. When I stared, it sank a little in a very cat-like way, as if to say, "I'm not here," then froze, looking at us calmly. My dog turned and ran for the house. I walked slowly backward until near the house;. Got my camera and went back out but it was gone in only a moment. I have seen cougars in the wild before in another state, and this was definitely a cougar. We live on Jana Vista Rd in El Sobrante, right next to a wilderness area and regularly have foxes, skunks, possums, wild turkeys and coyotes at times in our front and back yards, The cougar was likely hunting them. There is a steep slope downward in the northern third of the back yard, too steep to use much, and it has multiple trees a bush, and ivy ground cover, places for small creatures to hide. It was beautiful, and a privilege to see it. Glad to answer any questions from researchers.

Sitting at my dinner table enjoying the view an adult mountain lion walked past our patio and proceeded north up at the back of the house. I was only able to get a picture of it in the

Puma sighted walking along Calaveras Road. Green eyeshine. Long tail visible. Sighted it again while driving back up the road. It wasn't skittish. Windy conditions and a light drizzle.
