It should only take the self argument. Inside the method, create an instance attribute called is_hungry and set it equal

I'm not sure what to do here. It says add an init method that only takes self as an argument, and create an instance attribute called is_hungry and set it to true. I've tried self.is_hungry = True and self.is_hungry = is_hungry

panda.py 
# insert your code here
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

    def __init__(self)
        self.is_hungry = is_hungry

The definition line is missing the colon (:) at the end.

Also, the instructions say "create an instance attribute called is_hungry and set it equal to True", but instead of True, this code is setting it to "is_hungry" (which has not been defined).
