Puma & Bobcat Sightings Map

I was running up Fox Trail out of Tennessee Valley and at the intersection of Fox Trail and Coyote ridge say what I first thought was a fox or small bobcat in the trail. It was walking away from me and as I got closer I could see it had short tan fur with dark markings and a long tail held up in the air with a black tip. I've seen lots of bobcats and foxes and it was neither one of those. By the size, shape of the tale, and mottled dark markings over a tan coat I'm pretty sure it was a young mountain lion. By the time I got close enough to realize what it was (~75 feet) I decided it would be best to take my run in another direction! As I was leaving I could see it vanish into the scrub bushes on the side of the trail. No sign of a mother or siblings.

ran across road heading north. big fat long tail. good size.

A young adult mountain lion (Puma concolor) following a creek bed in a moist area in open woodland at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve in San Mateo County, CA, USA.

Mountain lion (Puma concolor) carries fawn carcass upstream at 21:38 in moist area in open woodland at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve in San Mateo County, CA, USA.

Mountain lion (Puma concolor) pauses to look at camera while carrying a fawn carcass upstream at 22:11, 33 minutes after carrying a fawn carcass (the same one? a new one?) past this exact spot. In between, there is an otherwise empty video that may contain the sound of a fawn's death cry.

Puma passing behind my house on the banks of Aptos Creek, below the Forest of Nisene Marks. Third time in three years that a puma has passed by.

Saw what I initially thought was a feral cat, but it was much larger (30-40 pounds?) and trying to get under a gate.

Driving home around 10:45, saw something crouched in the ditch along side the road. When the animal turned and looked at me, based on its size, my first thought it was a bobcat. I happened to have a flashlight close by, threw the car in park, got out and lit him up with the light. He stood still about 2-3 seconds, ran about 20' and looked back standing still another 2-3 seconds. We were 80-100' away from each other. It was undoubtedly a juvenile lion, approx 50-70 lbs and super quick.

Big felid spotted in an open area from the road. The grass was dry and tall. In our opinion, larger (in particular, longer) than a bobcat, which we have seen before. We saw it, and decided to turn around in the road an go back to be sure of what we saw. We stopped the car. The animal was moving slowly, staying still for some seconds. Then started to run slowly to the forest. Total sighting time (since the first glace) was around 4 minutes, from a 300 ft distance. We would appreaciate hearing back with your opinion.

Saw what I presume to be a large cat. Bigger than bobcat, coloration matches mountain lion much more closely. BUT: I saw no tail, and it was 2pm. Animal was walking through an overgrown fenced field, appeared to be looking for prey but not actually hunting anything.

I have multiple pics and can email. I was on Sir Francis Drake looking south into the field where the pushpin is (San Geronimo Road was behind the animal).

Large, tan cat with long tail crossed St Vincents Drive in front of my car and bounded up the adjoining hillside.

Juvenile mountain lion squeezed through our fence into our yard while my husband was about to leave on his motorcycle. Looked at him, didn't care he was there and strutted past him and then back out our fence. We believe it's the same one we saw 2 months ago outside our fence as a small baby. We think it is actively living in the lot (large lot maybe 50-100 acres?) between Aztec Ridge, Maya, Forrester, and Tourney Rds. We are at 16371 Aztec Ridge in Los Gatos. The property behind is privately owned but I imagine you could get permission. My biggest concern is that he doesn't seem to be afraid of people. Not as big of an issue when he is little but I worry for him as he gets older.

Saw what appeared to be juvenile walking on street (approaching from east of area when walking dog from about 3 houses away). Cat noticed but proceeded to walk down hill between two houses. Similar sighting on Lisa about 1/4 mile away about 2 weeks ago, same time of day.

It is in the bushes below the trail to the pool from the Abbeywood neighborhood. Just saw it at 7:15pm.

Owl Canyon.

On the trail between ucsc tanks and highway 9. Trail is called"sweetness" by some.

My wife and I were running/hiking in Las Trampas. We were coming down Las Trampas Ridge Trail and were coming around the bend the bend when we heard a loud growl followed by something jumping out of the bush away from us. I had noticed turkey vultures flying overhead shortly before the incident and thought there may have been something dead in the area. We did not see the lion and were about to attempt looking through the bushes.
