### sense in the lessons

In geography and science lessons (especially in Australia), Tasmania is known for wilderness, cold southern weather and unique animals. The Tasmanian devil has a loud screech and strong jaws; many are sick with a face tumour disease, so scientists protect them. The last known Tasmanian tiger died in a zoo long ago.
