AssertionError

Why do I get AssertionError?

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

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