          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 mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

It wants you to target the class title, not the title element. Try : .title{ font-size: 26px; }

Hi Mike,

In your code, you're not actually targeting the title class like the question is asking.

You should be looking for something like this:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.title {
  font-size: 26px;
}

Note that to target a 'class' you need to use a period before the class name (.title)

Hope this helps
