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.

Saw it at 725 McClay Road when walking my dogs. Time roughly 7:45am. It crossed McClay from West to East. Stopped briefly mid road when it spotted us then trotted to hide in the bushes at 736 McClay. Broke cover about 30 seconds later and trotted East on Jennifer Lane. Crossed the small bridge and headed South towards 12 Jennifer lane. Lost sight of it.

2 weeks ago someone got rescued after a stalemate with a mountain lion at this exact spot. I’m assuming I saw the same one.
It leaped over the trail in front of me around 8:20pm, we later saw its eyes in a bush when we shined a light after we went down that trail.
I want to say that this mountain lion lives on Boccardo Loop Trail, near the top in a bush. It showed no signs of aggression. There is not much wildlife near the top compared to a mile below as well.

My mom got up last night at 1am ish cause the horses were banging around in the barn and you could hear it. She put on the security lights, heard a weird sound like a sprinkler, and when she looked outside it was crossing our lawn! Our dog has been acting really scared and strange outside the past two days, so that makes sense now. He has been barking a lot after sniffing the air.
