species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
self.is_hungry = True
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return "{} eats {}." .format(self.name, self.food)
def check_if_hungry(self):
if self.is_hungry = True:

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Ariadna Rodriguez! There are a couple of things going on here.
First, you're meaning to ask if is_hungry is True with a double equals as opposed to a single equals. Remember that a single equal is an assignment. You're looking for if self.is_hungry == True:.
Secondly, The final line with self.eat() should be indented inside the if statement. You need to move that line over to the right
Hope this helps!
