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.

Went trail running at 12pm, was running on the trail when all of a sudden something about 10 feet away from me on the right side was crouched and stood up and bolted off very fast.
I have been running for over 15 years, seen plenty of coyotes, deer, bobcats eventhough this happened fast this felt different.
Looked beige, muscular very fast and lower than a deer.

Looked like a juvenile - not a small cub but certainly not a full grown animal. It was on the trail. Turned and looked at me and just kept very still. I started to make noise with my feet on the gravel and it ran, then stopped again. I made more noise and it ran away.

A nurse and two patients inside a room at UCSF Hospital saw a puma climbing the hill in the morning light through a window. One of the patients, who has seen several at his rural Northern California home, said that this was a rather large specimen and had an unusually dark grayish color.
