I have no idea how to write CSS for this challenge: Challenge Task 5 of 5

Finally, give .wildlife the property and value that forces any padding and border widths into its total width and height.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
  padding: 100;
  border: 100%%;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">

        <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 -->

Hey Maery,

FIrst you need to delete the padding and margin entries in the style. To force the padding and border to be included in the total width and height, the property you need to use is the box-sizing with a border-box value.

.wildlife {
  background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-position: center;
  background-size: cover;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

Keep Coding! :)
