Hi there, Tafadzwa Mandimika! Your def __init__(self): is supposed to be in line with species and food. It's over to the left a bit too far. Move it over to the right.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

thank you so much Jennifer Nordell i managed to pass, im on the next challenge "Using your Panda class, add two arguments to your class in the init method called name and age. Set the values inside of the init method using self.

i know im close, dont know what im missing. heres my code class Panda: species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca' food = 'bamboo' def init(self, name, age,): self.is_hungry= True self.name = name self.age = age
