def eat(self): is_hungry = False return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."

this is task 2 of 3 for panda.py . I am getting an AssertionError. Could someone help me :)?

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):
        is_hungry = False
        return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."

def eat(self):
    self.is_hungry = False
    return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."

When you set the attribute, don't forget to use . notation.
