Why didn’t anything change after redefining the “–penguin-size” and “–penguin-skin” variables in the “:root” of “@media”?

  **Your code so far**


<style>
:root {
  --penguin-size: 300px;
  --penguin-skin: gray;
  --penguin-belly: white;
  --penguin-beak: orange;
}

@media (max-width: 350px) {
  :root {
    /* Only change code below this line */
    --penguin-size: 200px;
    --penguin-skin: black;
    /* Only change code above this line */
  }
}

.penguin {
  position: relative;
