CSS CSS Basics (2014) Enhancing the Design With CSS Border Radius

Which units is this border-radius challenge asking about?

The second task in the border-radius challenge is asking me to use the border-radius shorthand to "make the radius 2 units". Which units? I've tried both ems and pixels, but neither works.

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

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

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

This is the code i just inserted in this exercise and it worked for me, I can't see anything wrong with your code! Hopefully you can figure it out. Well done on having the correct answer though, Maybe try signing out and back in to Treehouse

Ah, got it. Yes, that is the correct answer for the second task, but it's also what I used for the first task. The question calls for reducing it to "two units", but what it should ask for is "two values". It's all sorted, but they should reword the question.
