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.

A dead deer was discovered on the property on Saturday, August 8th, buried under a pile of leaves and debris—a classic indicator of a mountain lion cache. The kill presumably occurred late Friday night, August 7th, or early Saturday morning, August 8th. We deployed a trail/security camera at the cache site on Saturday evening. Just after midnight on Sunday morning, August 9th, the camera recorded footage of a mountain lion returning to feed on the carcass.

I saw a large grey looking cat in my backyard near my chicken coop. I made a loud noise by hitting my deck and it jumped over neighbors fence. I already lost 3 chickens.

I heard a loud guttural meow around 9:30-10pm and looked out my kitchen window. I thought it was 2 big house cats because all I could see were shadows. Then I realized it was only one animal and it wasn’t a house cat. The ears were pointy and the body was very large. It was sitting on the fence between my house and my neighbors house. I went downstairs in the basement to get a better look. The animal stayed there for a while and we were staring at each other. Then it slowly got off the fence and I could see it didn’t have a long tail. It went off toward Caroline street. I went to the porch but I couldn’t see it anymore.

Puma cub crossed the road in front of me as I was driving. It was heading toward Los Gatos Creek. Had a long tail and reminded me of Simba from The Lion King. Stopped and saw it cross back over the road behind me.
