Stuck in challenge (incorrect spelling?)

Can't get past this challenge. I've printed the result and it seems to be correct. I don't know where I'm failing. It says there might be incorrect spelling, but I've checked and seems right to me. Please, help.

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

    def __init__(self,name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.age = age
        self.name = name

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        self.name = 'Bao Bao'
        self.food = 'bamboo'
        return(f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.')

The challenge is expecting a space after they keyword "return". Also, you don't need parentheses around the return value, but that in itself won't cause a problem.

You've also done something more than what the instructions ask for, but once you've added the space, the challenge will give you it's own hint about that.
