What is wrong with my code?

An error accurs - AssertionError: 1 != 2 : Your method should only take the self argument

panda.py 
# insert your code here
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
    def __init__(self, is_hungry = 'True'):
        self.is_hungry = is_hungry

The error message says it all "AssertionError: 1 != 2 : Your method should only take the self argument".

The __init__ method should only take 1 argument, self.

class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
    def __init__(self, is_hungry = 'True'):👈#Your method should only take the self argument.
        self.is_hungry = is_hungry👈#Error here also.

Try to make these changes, if the problem persists, msg me here.
