I'm having trouble passing task 5.

The instructions for the task is: "Finally, give .wildlife the property and value that forces any padding and border widths into its total width and height." I have tried to copy and paste code from other forum posts that were marked correct, and it isn't working.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
      <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>
      </div><!-- End .wildlife -->
            <a class="callout" href="#wildlife">See the Wildlife</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

Have you tried adding a semi-colon to close the background-size property? :)
