I cannot find the right place to put the secondary content padding group.

I read the forum on the website but failed to help or make sense to me. any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

div .wildlife { border-top:10px; border-style: solid; border-color: orange; }

div .secondary-content{padding-top:80px; padding-bottom:70px;}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
        <div class="primary-content t-border">
            <p class="intro">
                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.

      <div class="wildlife">
        <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>.
        </p>

        <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>
        </footer>

Hi there! I just took a look at the challenge and this is the code I came up with: I am not exactly sure what your question is here, but take a look at this code below and compare. Any questions that you have about it feel free to post and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 

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

.wildlife {
 border-top: solid orange 10px; 
 margin-top: 105px;
}

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