I am looking on the community and dont see a answer to why this is happening. I want to know what I am doing wrong.

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

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

Somehow it appears that the entire definition of the __init__ method lost its indentation level (it was indented to begin with in the challenge). To fix it, highlight the entire method block and press the CTRL and ] (close bracket) keys.
