Hi Channon,

Your code is almost correct! Remove the "../" from the image file path because the challenge does not say that you have to go up to the parent folder of the current folder in order to go into the img folder.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.wildlife {
background: url('img/bear.jpg');
}
