I am not sure how to answer this, it is telling me to do the following:
"Finally, give .wildlife the property and value that forces any padding and border widths into its total width and height."
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife {
background-image:url('img/bear.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
background-size: cover;
}

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.

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>.

box-sizing: border-box;

box-sizing: border-box;

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 PointsI think it's looking for a border sizing property. I'm trying to rember the value you need.
try border-sizing: padding; border-sizing: content or ; border-sizing: border;
