<!DOCTYPE html>

                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>

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

The answer is

.wildlife {
background: url('/img/bear.jpg');
}

On the previous video example, it has '../' in the background url because the css file is in the css folder so you have to state '../' to go to previous directory before choosing image file. But in this challenge, your css file is in the root folder as same as the img folder so you don't use '../' in the url.

And your answer has a typo, a dot after the jpg.
