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.

Found one of our goats killed and set up a trail camera - lion came back the next night and continued feeding - we had 2 sick goats so we put them in the barn to isolate from the others and left the others out that night and a lion happened to come by that same night

the map wont let me pinpoint. but it was on S Cape trail in Fall Creek in Felton, Right side nearing the connection to the Ridge trail. Had been stalking me for about fifteen minutes until I finally spotted the face starring at me through the woods, ~ 25 feet away.
Must be its territory because it was situated so it had a straight shot at me if it decided to charge. It stayed still so I slowly put my jacket up behind me and walked down the trail, found another hiker just five yards down and she continued down Ridge trail with me.

Saw this lion walking ahead of me on the RS08-Chamise spur trail in Rancho San Antonio. I moved closer to get a photo; lion eventually bolted up a steep bank when I made a noise. No aggressive behavior.

We saw a mountain lion on the street right above (about 20 ft) the upper gate at Rambla Pacifico approximately 6:55 pm when coming home. The rather large animal disappeared into the bushes and might still be around the house near the gate. Visibility is quite foggy.

The EXACT location of this sighting was on the Coyote Creek trail, just North of the footbridge North of the Anderson Lake Visitor Center. This is at Anderson Lake County Park, in Morgan Hill. The Mt. Lion was in the crouched in the field just north of the foot bridge. This is approximately 300 yards North of a neighborhood bordered by Eagle View Dr. There were more than a dozen deer sighted in close proximity to the big cat, so I expect carcasses could be found in the area. This was 100% positive sighting of a Mountain Lion. No Doubt.

My trail camera captures multiple pictures of this mountain lion in our backyard. There is another shot of presumably the same animal on March 2 at 7:30 am. This is the first time we have had a mountain lion sighting.
