Border-Radius Challenge

Not sure what I'm missing here. Maybe the question is asking me something that I'm not comprehdning...

Q: Use short-hand to write Border Radius for 2 units. /* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wildlife { border-radius: 2px;

}

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.wildlife {
border-radius: 2px;

}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
        <div class="primary-content">
      <div class="wildlife">
        <h2>Check out all the Wildlife</h2>
        <p>
          As spawning season approaches, the fish acquire a humpback and protuberant jaw. After spawning, they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of <a href="#mink">mink</a>, <a href="#bears">bears</a>, and <a href="#eagles">bald eagles</a>.
        </p>
      </div><!-- End .wildlife -->
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

It is asking you to take the answer from the previous question and shorten it. The radius will remain the same.

This is how it was from Challenge 1:

.wildlife {
  border-radius: 20px 5px 20px 5px;
}

The top-left and bottom-right are the same value (20px) and the top-right and bottom left are the same value (5px), you can simplify it to:

.wildlife {
  border-radius: 20px 5px;
}

It's very similar to how you only need two units when you are setting padding and margin and they are the same on the top and bottom, and on the left and right.
