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.

It came in the yard and killed two baby goats. I walked towards the goats to check on them between 12:00am- 3:00am and I send the mountain lion ripping the baby goat open. Around the same time I also seen a all jet black mountain lion short hair very muscular.

I'm not an expert, but it seemed as larger or larger than I expected any bobcat to be. It proceeded north toward Tyler Court.

Our chickens were making a lot of noise and we went outside to find a cougar on the fence with a chicken in his/her mouth and it jumped in the neighbor's back yard and kept jumping from back yard to back yard until we could no longer see it.

The mountain lion walked by through our driveway towards a creek next to the property. We had driven up 2 mins before, so we were surprised that it was around with all that commotion.
We have full video, but the website doesn't allow large uploads.

I’m not sure what breed is, but all I know is that is grayish black, large, long tail, shiny, very beautiful, purrs (very load), agile, fast, jumps at least 6 feet tall (very easily), killed and hurt couple of my chickens in a split second even though they were inside their cage. When used a spotlight the animal seemed to roar at me in anger and was not timid about seeing me or me seeing it. Did not run away, until my husband used a BB gun multiple times.
