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.

female hunted for her cubs. dragged a dead deer from 1/2 mile up 400 vertical feet. in this video, you see her dragging the carcass from around 450' to 550', pausing to catch her breath. when she realizes that she can squeeze through the bars of the gate, she jumps a 6' fence while carrying the deer. she then spent 20 minutes dragging the carcass up to 780' (another 1/4 mile).

Was walking north on paradise valley trail and saw a bob cat before it quickly ran into the grass. Saw it a minute later in the distance before it disappeared to the east side of me. Very shy and reclusive. Definitely too big to be a domestic cat and I saw the stubby tail on it, along with cat markings.

This photo was taken by my husband at 6:40PM today. He was leaving our house in Mill Valley in his car. He spotted this guy about 20 feet up the road. S/he looked at him for a bit, then ran toward our house, where he had just left. He called to make sure all the kids & pets were inside. We notified the neighbors, most of them have dogs & kids that play on the street. We are on a tiny private dead-end road with no traffic. All is well, everyone stayed inside for an hour, no idea which way this Big Cat went, but we all gave her/him a lot of space to do whatever s/he was here to do.
