Hi Julio, I agree, a strange one at first. The challenge is asking for the box-sizing property

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
   background-size: cover;
   margin: none;
   box-sizing:border-box;
}

You need to use the box-sizing: border-box; check out this site for a more in depth explanation: http://www.paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/
