Create a class called Panda. Inside your class, create two class attributes. One called species set to ‘Ailuropoda melanoleuca’ and another called food set to ‘bamboo’. These are the instructions.

You've given keyword arguments to the __init__ method. You're supposed to set the attributes inside the class block. Try to makes this change, if the problem persists, let me know.
