Is my code not correct here? I thought I had to target the span and then the .title following it. What did I do wrong?

Question

The challenge asked me to target the span element with the class "title" and change it's font size to 26 pixels. So the code I wrote is as follows...

span . title { font-size: 26px; }

Is this incorrect? Thanks for your help.

style.css

          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.

I figured it out. Apparently I was being too specific. The website only wanted me to write...

.title { font-size: 26px; }

Instead of...

span .title { font-size: 26px; }

Thanks anyways!
