Don’t count mountain lions as faithful listeners of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Rachel Maddow.

In fact, when the big cats were exposed to recordings of the talking heads, the fearsome felines fled like pussycats.

A study conducted by the University of California Santa Cruz used recordings of the talk-show hosts’ strident commentary to determine if the animals are afraid of humans.

Researchers who placed cameras and motion-activated sound equipment in the Santa Cruz mountains also played recordings of Pacific tree frogs.

After 29 experiments with 17 lions, the researchers found that the cats ran way from the sounds of the broadcasters 83 percent of the time — but from the frog sounds just once.

“People allude to this idea all the time — that mountain lions are more afraid of us than we are of them. But science has never shown that before,” UC Santa Cruz environmental studies Professor Chris Wilmers said.

“When people go out hiking, some have a fear that mountain lions are going to attack them. But it turns out that mountain lions are quite afraid of people,” he added.

The scientists placed their equipment near areas where lions had killed deer and other animals, the Ventura County Star reported.

The 17 lions — also called pumas and cougars — were fitted with GPS collars as part of tracking research that UC Santa Cruz’s Puma Project has conducted since 2008.

When the lions came to feed, they were exposed to the personalities’ voices and the frogs’ piercing croaks.

Justine Smith, lead author of the study, said the voices by the liberal and conservative hosts were used because they were “high-quality recordings.”

“But the pumas showed no partisanship. They all ran away from everyone,” she said.

The study was published Tuesday in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, a scientific journal published by the Royal Society of London.
