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>.

You've pretty much got it. The image folder however is in the same directory as the index.html file so you don't need the ../. Just delete that and you are good to go.
.wildlife {
background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
}
Keep Coding! :)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHey Daggett, While a semicolon is the standard convention in CSS styling, it is actually a separator and not a 'statement ender' as that in JavaScript, for example. (In CSS the } is the end of a statement.)
Because there is only one declaration here, the semicolon is actually not needed, but it is a good habit to use one. Often you will see CSS code where there is more than one declaration, and all will have the semicolon, except the last one. While this saves a bit of bandwidth, I personally think it should be there.
Some minified files will have those removed before moving to production, but the original, I think should have them, though they aren't needed for the styles to work
Good catch though. Keep Coding! :)

My code reads
.wildlife {
background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
}

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHey Brian Borin
You shouldn't be receiving any errors as your code is correct. Sometimes the code checker does glitch. Try restarting the code challenge and copy / paste the code from above into the fresh challenge. I just tried and everything passed.
If you continue to have problems, please let the Treehouse Support Team.
