          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 Avelino,

The property value of center on your code is correct but the property itself is incorrect. Here is the correct code below:

.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center; /* THIS IS THE CORRECT PROPERTY */
}

Hope this helps. Happy Coding!

Avelino,

The property you are looking for is background-position.

background-position: center;
