Overwrite inherited methods

Make a new class named Sheep that inherits from Animal. The Animal class is in animal.py. Remember, you can use pass to make empty classes. Whats the strategy guys ?

sheep.py 
class Sheep(Animal):
  from animal.py import Animal
    Animal_class="sheep"
  pass

Not sure I understand what you are getting at. Imports always go at the top. At least in this exercise they should. You also don't need to include the py in animal. You also have Animal_class("Sheep"). Not sure why you did that. You also only have half the challenge done. If you do the challenge as it is expected and to the end. It all comes together a lot more clearly.

from animal import Animal

class Sheep(Animal):
  sound = "rrrr"

  def noise(self):
    return self.sound.upper()
