The property and value that forces any padding and border widths into its total width and height.

I have attempted to solve this last property and value using box-sizing, max-width, and width, but they all show incorrect. I have watched the videos several times and seem to be stuck on this part of the code challenge. Am I missing something or was there a property and value introduce before this lesson that I need to apply? Please advise. Thank you!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

  <body> 
        <div class="primary-content t-border">
            <p class="intro">
                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.

        <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 -->
  </body>

You were right with box-sizing property. Did you get the right value though? Hint: It's a box that includes the width of the border.
