    <a href="#">Find out more</a>
    <div>
      <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 mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Hi!

I think your closing bracket of your body element in the CSS is a "]" instead of a curly bracket "}". Should be ok if you just change it.

So your code should look like:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

body{
  text-align: center;
}

p{
   color: lightslategrey;
}
