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.

I was leaving my driveway abd there was a tabby cat looking dish my driveway away from my headlights and car so I stopped the car and was about to approach the cat , then suddenly the cat ran towards me by my drivers side door then immediately after the cat a mountain lion with a collar on was chasing the cat , I hit my horn in the car and used a flashlight t to deter the lion . I think the cat got away because I didn’t hear a sound from the cat like cries or screams .
