        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've selected the class of 'title', but there is no class with that name. You need to remove the period (.) before it in order to select the title element.

title {
  font-size: 1.625rem;
}

Hope this helps!

Sorry Seth! In my sleep depraved state I completely misread the code. You were really close, just needed to be a little more specific regarding the font-size.

h2 {
  font-size: 3.3125em;
}
