        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 mink, bears, and Bald eagles.

Hey Sean,

It is correct except for a small typo. For the body rule, you have another opening curly brace instead of a closing one. If you look at the code snippet you posted (above), you can see the syntax highlighting indicating the error.
Just fix that up and you're good to go.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
