Adding a background-size property. "Cover" is used for value and "auto" to keep height and width. Please help. Thanks!

Should I take out wildlife? What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help!

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife{
  background-image:url('img/bear.jpg');
    }

.wildlife{background-repeat: no-repeat;}

.wildlife{
  background-position: center;
}

.wildlife(
  background-size: cover;
  width: auto;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

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

                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>

:point_right: It looks like your last rule has a parenthesis "(" instead of an open brace "{".

And some additional hints:

  • You don't need a new rule each time. You can add more properties to the rule already created.
  • You don't need a "width" property for task 4. Setting "background-size: cover" preserves proportions itself.
