                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

      <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 -->

The question makes no note of the files being in different directories. So you could go directly into the image folder housing the image.

.wildlife {
    background-image: url('img/bear.jpg');
}

I have exact code and still erroring out. Maybe reload. Not sure, seen this happened a few times.

I even copy your code and paste it. Still erroring out.
