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.

Mountain Lion seen at the end of Sagebrush Rd. I was about 100 feet away. It was walking away from me, turned to look, and then disappeared into the brush. I was up early to take a picture of the sunrise but didn't think to take a picture of the Puma until after the encounter. Not sure if it was male or female but it was large dog size with a long tail. No doubt it was a puma in my mind.
