Dettol has launched a quiz on Mumsnet in partnership with their new ‘Protect like a Mother’ campaign. Have a go and let us know what you think of your result!

Here’s what Dettol has to say: “We know that a mother’s protection of her child is unconditional and just like an animal in the wild, she will do whatever it takes to create a safe environment for her family. We provide mums with that same unconditional protection for the whole family throughout the home.”

Any nature documentary will tell you that mothers in the wild are not to be crossed when it comes to their young. However, they all have their own individual styles of protection. Take the quiz and find out what type of animal mum you’re most like! Do you protect your child like an Elephant? Or are you more like a monkey? Or even a lion?! Have a go and come back here and let us know what you are. Do you agree with the result? Whatever kind of parent you turn out to be in the wild, we would love to hear what your thoughts are.

Everyone who posts on this thread, after taking the quiz will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck

I'm an elephant apparently.

Signoritawhocansway · 28/09/2017 23:06

Bear. Ah well

CountingDownToBedtime · 29/09/2017 06:51

I,m an elephantGrin

createbeauty · 29/09/2017 07:04

I'm an Eagle. Pretty accurate!

NoSquirrels · 29/09/2017 07:28

Bear. Haven't read the thread yet but I'm betting 90% are Bear...

Some questions very odd! Baby proofing in particular!

snotato · 29/09/2017 07:33

I'm a bear.

juju3 · 29/09/2017 08:22

Elephant - if I remember correctly

MonaChopsis · 29/09/2017 08:24

I am an elephant... Feels like that's about the speed I move at, so technically probably true!

2014newme · 29/09/2017 08:38

Eagle. Which is correct!

bevmichelle47 · 29/09/2017 09:25

Oh my goodness, i'm a Bear! lol

TillyTheTiger · 29/09/2017 09:31

I'm a bear, bit surprised not to have come out as an eagle though, from what others have said

Auntiedahlia · 29/09/2017 09:44

I'm a monkey mum apparently Hmm

ApocalypseNowt · 29/09/2017 09:51

I'm an elephant i think they can see me through my webcam.

Wish there was an option on the babyproofing one though that said "you do nothing because life isn't babyproofed". I'm probably actually a crocodile or something....

I took it three times because my answers vary for the same scenario, depend on some factors and there is a retake button making it easy to retake it.
One result came up as Eagle, the next Bear, then Elephant.
One minute of fun and distraction and that's over. Nothing else to write about.

Wattonearth · 29/09/2017 15:00

An eagle apparently ... but I am usually organised!

djsel · 29/09/2017 16:38

I got bear , even my dd calls me mama bear Smile

Heathen4Hire · 29/09/2017 17:08

Bear. Sounds about right.

Summerdays2014 · 29/09/2017 17:41

Elephant. I agree!

Kion · 29/09/2017 19:16

Mama bear here 🐻. Lovely BearSmile
I’m quite a new mama and the description is surprisingly accurate. I was hoping I would come out a lion or giraffe though as we love them the most haha.

melanieb32 · 29/09/2017 19:30

I'm a mummy bear! Don't mess with me lol

GetSchwifty · 29/09/2017 19:59

Arrietty123 · 29/09/2017 20:28

I'm a bear and was surprised by how accurate the quiz was!

Jengle · 30/09/2017 00:19

So I'm a bear 🐻

Solo · 30/09/2017 01:36

I'm a bear but, some of the answers were a bit Hmm and I just had to pick one - any one! I did not baby proof my home for example!

carolineandbaby · 30/09/2017 06:56
