"Bao Bao eats bamboo" != "Bao Bao eats bamboo"

What is wrong with my code? No where does it say I have to add the actual name and age but I did just in case, it still doesn't work.

(Below is the error message I get)

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
    name = "Bao Bao"
    age = 1

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

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

F FAIL: test_results (main.TestFunctionDefinitionExecution) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 64, in test_results AssertionError: 'Bao Bao eats bamboo' != 'Bao Bao eats bamboo.'

Bao Bao eats bamboo Bao Bao eats bamboo. ? + : When I call the eat method, I don't get the correct message. Make sure to use the name attribute that is passed in to the instance.

here's the correct code. This thing just wants the user to add a period at the end of the returned string. A period at the end of the "Bao Bao eats bamboo." sentence. ugh...

class Panda:

species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'

food = 'bamboo'

def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.is_hungry = True

    self.age = age

    self.name = name 


def eat(self):

    self.is_hungry = False

    return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'
