          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 mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

You're very close, just a very very tiny error! To target an HTML element with css, we don't use a period! we just write the element and then the curly braces. So target the h2 element using h2{ //code here} and you're good.

You put "h2" as a class instead of it just being an element.

For instance

Element {} `#ID {} (ignore the backtick) .Class {}

So h2 should be

h2 {
  font-size: 53px;
}
