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.

Traveling west on Fort Hunter Liggett on Del Venturi Road toward Los Padres National Forest around 9pm. Mountain Lion ran across the road in front of our truck and disappeared into the brush. Even though it was dusk, it was clearly a large mountain lion in the headlights.

Cougar was size of a very large dog. Crossed right in front of my car from right to left and I was headed toward Castro Valley. Brand new foal is close by in a field. I’d be worried!

Bobcat was seen on my security cameras (Ring) June 19, 2025 at 1:36 a.m. sauntering (not running, just slow stroll) through my front yard to the back yard area. Not seen on my back yard camera, so likely jumped the fence in the side yard. Then bobcat (same one?) seen again on my back yard camera on June 25, 2025 at 2:37 a.m. who trotted from my small back deck area to corner of fenced yard and jumped up to the fence and presumably went into my neighbor's back yard. I will upload video of each sighting.
