                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

      <div class="wildlife">
        <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
        <p>
          As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.
        </p>
      </div><!-- End .wildlife -->
            <a class="callout" href="#wildlife">See the Wildlife</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->

/* Create a new rule that targets the class 'wildlife'. */
.wildlife {
  /* Set the bear.jpg image, located in the img folder, as the background image. */
  background-image: url("img/bear.jpg");
  /* Next, define the background property and value that prevents the background image from repeating in any direction. */
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  /* Next, position the background image in the center of the '.wildlife' element. */
  background-position: center;
  /* Add a background-size property. Set a value that will display the full image while maintaining the width and height proportions. */
  background-size: cover;
  /* Finally, give .wildlife the property and value that forces any padding and border widths into its total width and height. */
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

Let me know where did you get stuck and I'll explain it for you.

I think we need more information about your problem :) What is going wrong? What is the task telling you to do?

You can complete the task by writing this. I did not know we could see the code challenge you where doing. Guess that is a new feature:P

.wildlife { background-image: url(img/bear.jpg); }
