Hi!

I think you don't need the instance attributes self.name and self.food. When in the background the instances have been created they probably gave you wrong answer because you tried to define them inside the method

class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        return (f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.')

For the if statement on the following task you need to create a new method and return the eat method.
