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.

Got to the top of the ridge right where Rocky ridge trail meets and about 50-75 yards in front of us we saw the cougar cross the trail. Stopped and looked at us and continued down the ridge. Watched long enough to make out it's huge size/shape, long tail, and coloration.

Riding westbound on San Pedro Terrace trail in my utility bicycle (a 3 wheel bike with a box in front for passengers) with my dog in front. An animal which appeared to be the color of a puma, slim with a long club like tail, came out of the brush and crossed in front of us to the other side of the trail and disappeared into the brush. The animal appeared from the south of the trail and crossed to the north of the trail.

I spotted a mountain lion on Terra Linda Ridge Fire Road last night at approx. 8 pm. I was on my way back from climbing Luiz Ranch Road and saw the puma as soon as I climbed the top of the climb. It was in the middle of the fire road. It facing away but quickly turned around and spotted me and I just ran back down towards Del Ganado Road.
