The largest surviving Australian carnivorous marsupial is the Tasmanian Devil, which now lives only in Tasmania and is under serious threat due to a cancerous growth. The largest surviving mainland Australian carnivorous marsupial is the Spotted-tail Quoll or Tiger Quoll which is considered vulnerable in Tasmania and the south east of Australia and endangered in north Queensland.
