Can someone please help me?

I do not understand even slightly the question I am being asked in the code challenge.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;

}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
        <div class="primary-content t-border">
            <p class="intro">
                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>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
      <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>

There's already a great answer for you. Don't be afraid to look stuff up on Google sometimes. A good source is www.w3schools.com.

As Marissa Richardson suggested, if you have any problem or a doubt, google is your best friend. Now you have 2 options either copy anil rahman's code or google it; latter will take much more time but trust me when I say, You will actually learn something, is it not the whole point of you being here on treehouse??

www.w3schools.com.

Here you can start, we3schools have an inbuilt editor, play around with the code, experiment and You will kick css's ass! Good Luck mate!
