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.

Saw a bobcat right as I entered wildcat canyon. Not the first I have seen in this area. It jumped out on the trail and we watched each other for awhile until I gave it some space. It disappeared into the brush on the way down to wildcat creek. Not a big surprise to see a bobcat in Wildcat Canyon right?
