Create a method called eat. It should only take self as an argument. Inside of the method, set the is_hungry attribute to False, since the Panda will no longer be hungry when it eats. Also, return a string that says 'Bao Bao eats bamboo.' where 'Bao Bao' is the name attribute and 'bamboo' is the food attribute.

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name  # The name passed in when the instance is created
        self.age = age
        self.is_hungry = True

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}"

The challenge is very picky about the output string, and you forgot to include the punctuation. Just add it and you'll pass task 2.

        return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."
#                                            ^
