Can't understand what is wrong with this challenge as it is throwing only errors.

Here is my code which is working: class Panda: species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca' food = 'bamboo'

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

def eat(self):
    self.is_hungry = False
    # food = "bamboo"
    # name = "Bao Bao"
    return f'{self.name} eats {Panda.food}'

panda_bear = Panda("Bao Bao", "2") print(panda_bear.eat())

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

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

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        # food = "bamboo"
        # name = "Bao Bao"
        return f'{self.name} eats {Panda.food}'

hey

class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

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

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        # food = "bamboo"
        # name = "Bao Bao"
        return f'{self.name} eats {Panda.food}'  # this line should reference self only, not Panda. And need to add a period at the end

Thank you for your help! I think that period at the end was the trouble then I messed up :)
