Hey williamwang5,

The shorthand syntax property you are using is correct. I tried it on my end and it's producing an error so I used this syntax:

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

Hope this helps!

Hey williamwang5 ,

On your last challenge, you have been asked to add a box-sizing property: 

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