Answer 1

Living, it is probably the tazmanian devil, but the tazmanian tiger was bigger, its now suspected of being extinc, but it would hold this title if it were alive!

Answer 2

The largest living carnivore marsupial (at least since 1936) is the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus laniarius). However, the Tasmanian devil is not found on the main continent of Australia, only on the island of Tasmania (thus the name).

So the largest living carnivore marsupial that lives in Australia is the spotted tail quoll (Dasyurus maculatus). It is about the size of a large cat, with males reaching as much as 7 kg in weight (the Tasmanian devil can reach 12 kg).

Fossils of the Tasmanian devil have indeed been found on the Australian mainland, but at the time that the devils lived there, other carnivorous marsupials such as the Tasmanian wolf (Thylacinus cynocephalus) were also around. The thylacine wolf weighed 20 to 25 kg, and was much larger than the Tasmanian devil.

If you are looking at fossil marsupials, then there were other carnivores such as the saber-toothed Thylacosmilus of South America, which was about the size of a modern jaguar, or the Borhyaena which was also from South America, and around the same size as Thylacosmilus. Both of them went extinct around the time that the faunal interchange brought more 'advanced' placental predators into South America.

Answer 3

The tasmanian devil used to be native to the mainland, but was driven extinct there.

There is also an animal that is the largest carnivorous marsupial ever found in the fossil record (it outweighed thylacosmilus by about 100 pounds or so) - thylacoleo carnifex. This relative of wombats and koalas was about the size of a small bear and built like one, estimated to weigh up to 250 pounds. It also has the distinction of having the strongest jaws of any carnivorous mammal, living or extinct (relative to body size) and the longest carnassial slicing molar teeth ever found.

It lacked the typical fangs that are the hallmark of carnivores, instead it had a pair of well-developed incisors in the front of the jaw (giving it a rodent-like appearance) that were possibly used to clamp the windpipe of large prey or possibly puncture the skull. It also had a huge claw on its thumb, not unlike the "killer claw" of the velociraptor dinosaur, that apparently was used to subdue prey.
