My background colour for "check out all the wildlife" is white but should be black- what am I doing wrong

My backgound colour is white but according to the video it should be black;

Here are the codes:

Index.html <html> <head> <title>Lake Tahoe</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> </head> <body> <header id="top" class="main-header"> <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span> <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1> </header>

    <div class="primary-content t-border">
        <p> class="intro">
            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.
        </p>
        <a href="#more">Find out more</a>

<div class="wildlife">>
<h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2> <p> 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>. </p>
</div> 

        <a href="#wildlife">See the Wildlife</a>
    </div> <!--End .primary-content -->

    <div class="secondary-content t-border"> 
        <div>
  <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
  <p>
    Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
  </p>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
    <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
    <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
  </ul>

</div> <div>
<h3>Pack Accordingly</h3> <p> One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips: </p> <ol> <li>Bring layers of clothing</li> <li>Pack sunscreen</li> <li>Carry extra water just in case</li> <li>Pack light</li> </ol> </div> </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

    <footer id="main-footer" class="t-border">
        <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
        <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
    </footer>

It looks like it is black to me (well #434a52). The <div class="wildlife">> has an extra > on the end that you might not want but that shouldn't effect the color of the div.

Are the other colors working? Is the stylesheet linking properly?
