          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 -->

Hi again Channon,

The property you're looking for is the box-sizing property. This property controls what other properties are affected when the width and height of the element are changed. To see which value you need to set this to, check out this MDN article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing Remember that the MDN is your friend and to always look up things!

Also, I am not sure where all those other properties came from but this was my code at the end except for the comment of course =D

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife {
  background: url('img/bear.jpg') no-repeat center;
  background-size: cover;
  box-sizing: /* insert value here */;
}
