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.

Mostly growling and eyes reflected in my headlamp. A deer ran through here an hour earlier, so maybe he was following it. It seems really unusual for a puma to come into a camp ground. He stayed near me for about an hour.

A mother lion and two cubs captured on a trail cam. I can only attach one pic so I chose the two cubs. If you want the mom pic let me know. It's a great shot.

Was hiking solo early in the morning. There were two mountain lions on the ridge in front of me and did not seem to care I was there. They looked about the same size. I promptly turned around and left. They were about 100' off the trail.

A small mountain lion entered my property, and then my home at 8:34 pm Thursday night. It ate my cat's food then left when my daughter came into the room and screamed. We have surveillance cameras which captured it. My neighbor saw it live.

Puma triggered outdoor lights and walked by windows where I was sitting. A few minutes later it came back and walked off in the direction from which it had come.
