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.

Witnessed the mountain lion about 50 yards off of the trail (Aptos Creek Fire Road). Stopped for lunch around 11:30 and saw it near a small pond/collection of standing water.

He was inside of my fenced yard near the birdbath. My yard has many squirrels, rats and turkeys as well as a pond. He calmly looked at me when I opened the back door and we stared at each other for several seconds. Then he turned around and went down the steps. He seemed familiar with the yard and knew where the holes in the fence were. At first I thought it was a giant cat, but he was way too big to be a cat, had the distinctive ears and then when he turned around I saw the familiar tail.

The bobcat shared the trail with us for about 10 minutes at 1pm, generally ignoring our presence, before taking off from the trail and disappearing in the brush. It seemed to be looking on the sides of the trail, hunting. It didn’t show any signs of aggression toward us or others.
