I'll have to admit, the instructions are a little confusing.
This passes all three tasks:
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age): # You'd use 'Bao Bao' when instantiating the class (not part of the challenge, though)
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name # Use name here, not "Bao Bao" - one misleading instruction
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}." # You need the period at the end here
def check_if_hungry(self):
if self.is_hungry == True:
self.eat()
# You don't need the two lines that create the instance of the class, but, of course, you would in the real world...
# And this is where you'd pass 'Bao Bao' for name...
# But, if they had been needed, you did code those two lines correctly:
# ======================================================
# panda_one = Panda('Bao Bao', 10) #Correct
# panda_one.eat() # Correct
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!
