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.

John Marthens Ln gate, Arastradero Preserve, Palo Alto. "Saw a mountain lion kill and carry a rabbit into nearby bushes just inside the John Marthens Lane gate to the Arastradero Preserve Saturday (8/29) evening right after sunset. The cat was the color of the surrounding dry oats, with a long, black tipped tail. Maybe the same cat as sighted in Portola Valley and Woodside?" PROBABLE.
