230,688 PointsThis challenge asks you to create an __init__ method that "should only take the self argument.", but the one above requires 3 arguments. Also, there's nothing in this challenge about creating an "eat" method.
It looks like you've used code intended for another challenge (further along in the course!) that has different requirements. You'd probably get the most benefit from the course by taking the lessons in order. But if you're skipping around in the course intentionally, be sure to do only what the instructions of each challenge ask for.
