Puma & Bobcat Sightings Map

Full-grown. Walked across driveway while we were driving up, about 100 ft from our house.

The puma crossed the bridge on the paved road over "Creek B" in the Avalon housing area in Fremont. It loped across to the upstream creek bed. I knew it was a mountain lion from its size, light brown color and long curved tail. (We often see bobcats, and this cat was much larger.)

she likes to sit on the back patio, presumably since the tiles are warm.  she was grooming herself and them realized that i was watching her (from my kitchen window), so she looked up and saw me, and then sauntered slowly away

Mountain lion sighted by morning runner at approximately 6:25am, 1/30/2014. Mountain lion was in the terraced front yard of a home at the intersection of Avoca and Aquarius.

Spotted in the Forest Lakes neighborhood by multiple homeowners. The date above is incorrect. It should be 2014.

hiking from highway 1 on dipsea trail towards the steep ravine trail. animal came out of brush and sat on steps of the trail. sat there for about 1minute, i warned the hikers on the opposite side of him (they could not see him). we were yelling and making noise, eventually he got up and ran into the brush in the direction he is facing in the picture. he had a long tail and was huge. i confirmed my sighting with 2 rangers up at pantroll ranger station. ( this happened on Jan 16, 2014.)

1/12/2012. Lost two goats and a ram to a mountain lion. Cougar was able to clear our tallest fencing in order to land on the roof of the livestock shelter and then enter the animals pen.

This is 2014. The point is not exact. We were hiking the Rocky Ridge Loop Trail, down in the canyon heading N/W in watershed. There were many small creeks that were dry. We noticed many vultures in the trees ahead of us. Just below them was a creek, with running water. Partially submerged in the water was a two pronged buck, on his back, and except for a small amount of flesh in the spine, it was stripped clean. His legs and head were still intact. We took pictures and will send them soon. P.S. We just found out you existed and would have been in touch sooner. We are in process of doing a wildlife film to educate people of the importance of preserving wild animals. Our phone number is 415-647-0243. We would like to get involved in your project. Thank you.

I have been seeing sign in Grass Valley most of the summer. There was a kill at this location that appeared about 10 days ago.

Yesterday from the Bort Meadow staging area I and several others watched this lion for approx. 5 minutes before it went into the creek bed.

It looked like a young mountain lion (not adult). There are a lot of deers in this area and in fact there was a group of deers half an hour later. I saw it from my window. Should I also notify authorities?

At approximately 8:15am saw what appeared to be fully black mountain lion (which admittedly made me question the sighting, but it was much larger than my medium sized dog or a bobcat).   Possibly a female or juvenile?   Ignored me, my dog, and a few other passers by as we walked about 50-100 feet away. 

Area has had mountain lion populations before and is frequented by deer, foxes, etc. with access to a seasonal creek.

Came up over a rise on Grizzly Peak Trail and saw a mountain lion ~30 ft away turning around and quickly walking away from me and my dog. No mistaking the long flowing tail.

Called EBRPD, and when two employees came to meet me on the trail, they reported finding a deer carcass earlier in the week. Soon signs were posted at the trailheads reporting "several mountain lion sightings in the area from Nov. 5-10"

Estero Trail, Pt Reye; Came up on mountain lion heading same direction as myself. At first thought it was a deer but quickly realized that it was a lion. Followed for 1/4 mile.

~5 mile marker on Palomares Road.(5 miles from Castro Valley, north end of the road). Bob cat.

May be same bobcat I reported earlier.  The 2 buckets contain water, put out for the wildlife during our heatwave, although the bobcat did not seem interested. 

Mt Lion was seen crossing Moeser Lane by a resident out walking in the morning.

There were 2 young cubs on our property next to our driveway last night. I saw them when I drove up, then about 15 minutes later went back with a flashlight and they were still there. We heard rustling in the trees, which may have been the mamma watching us, but we only saw the cubs. Our property is 7 acres of wooded properly, undeveloped except for our house/garage/etc.

it was in a back yard for more than 30 min. Just walked around every corners. It walk close to all back yard door to observe inside a house. It dit not going to front yard or side walk. It was rest in sun bath around 15 min and left

Large mt lion moving from N to S from meadow past cabin. Partially obscured by shrubs and tall grass. Observed at distance of 100 ft with strong headlamp.

I awoke to loud thrashing noises outside my home. Soon after, I heard a distinct mountain lion call. I could hear another animal thrashing about and making noises, and the next morning, the surrounding brush was matted and trampled, leading me to believe the other animal was a deer.
