Best Answer

Dingo

It should be noted that the dingo is not truly native to Australia, having been introduced by the Aborigines.

Australia's largest living native carnivorous mammal is the Tasmanian devil, a carnivorous marsupial, or dasyurid, but it is quite small. Until 1936, the largest carnivorous mammal in Australia was the Thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger.
