If I understand right, you mean the property box-sizing with the value border-box " box-sizing: border-box;"

then that's it... .wildlife { box-sizing: border-box; }

if it doesn't accept that as an answer check for misspellings !

Do you mean the image to be in its full size? I don't really understand what exactly you want to do. It really seems like you are asking for the property I gave you on my last post! Please explain some more! Additionally, you can also ask for an answer from the suggested users by team tree house you can see them at the bottom of your post!
