I've written border-bottom: 2px dotted lightgrey; but it is showing wrong!

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.primary-content {
  padding-top: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 95px;
}

.wildlife {
  margin-top: 105px;
}

                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
        <p>
          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>.

        <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
          <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
          <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
        </ul>       
      </div>
      <div>
        <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
        <p>
          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
          <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
          <li>Pack light</li>
        </ol>
      </div>
        </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>

Hey! So after checking the challenge, it seems that it's not letting you pass, because you've removed code from a previous step. The code you should have at the end to pass step 5 and complete the whole challenge should be:

.primary-content {
  padding-top: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 95px;
}

.wildlife {
  border-top: 10px solid orange;  /* it seems that you're missing this bit */
  margin-top: 105px;
}

.secondary-content {
  padding-top: 80px;
  padding-bottom: 70px;
  border-bottom: 2px dotted lightgrey;
}

Hope this helps. Good luck!
