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 was hiking at Briones Regional Park in Martinez, CA. On my way back to the parking lot I saw 2 mountain lions sitting side by side on a hill about a 100 yards away from my friend and myself. The two pumas then got up and were walking parallel to our path, pacing us. We turned left on the trail to head back to the parking lot which caused a hill to separate us from the pumas by creating a fork in the road, therefore preventing them from stalking us further.

Looked like a small puma roadkilled on the right side of the freeway (680S) entering Alamo from the north. Approx. location given.
Could have been a deer. Coat was solid tawny brown, saw what seemed like a long tail. Looked like a really big cat. Was too big to be a housecat.
