I wish it could be better question.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife {
border-radius: 20px 5px 20px 5px;
}

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>.

Simply remove one set of 20px 5px from the code and it will function the same. Remember for border-radius the four values for each radii are given in the order top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left. If bottom-left is omitted it is the same as top-right. If bottom-right is omitted it is the same as top-left. If top-right is omitted it is the same as top-left.
Hope it helps,
Ken

In this shorthand, 20px represents top left and bottom right radius, and 5px represents top right and bottom left radius. Is that what you're looking for?

6,963 PointsI was very confused by the phrasing of this. I think the "Two units" should be written as "Two values" because I was trying to shorten the actual radius down by two pixel units not the CSS statement down to two values.

5,436 PointsThis is a badly written challenge. I actually used the shorthand notation in the first step and it was marked correct. I then had no idea what they were asking for in the second question ... two units? ... is that 2 pixels, 2 em, 2 elephants???

Here's another detail:
It's fairly simple once you see it, but you may encounter a common problem--a nitpicky Challenge code window. For example, I entered correct CSS but kept getting error messages--until I cut-and-pasted it from elsewhere and submitted it several times. Suddenly, it passed. I've encountered this in several code challenges, especially the Python courses.

YOUR CODE border-radius: top right bottom left; or SHORTHAND border-radius: 20px 5px;
