Dinosaurs are actually still possible for a climate such as this. While often associated with tropical jungles, dinosaurs have lived in pretty much almost every habitat. This includes snowy regions auch as the arctic, tundra and mountains. Its more then likely dinosaurs, especially during the Cretaceous which had a more varies climate compared to the Triassic and Jurassic, had been faced with ice and snow before.

In terms of prehistoric manmals, however, I hope my favorite one will make an appearance: the cave hyena. Cave hyenas were an Eurasian subspecies of the modern-day spotted hyena that nowadays roams Africa, though bigger and more adapted to a cold climate. They are often ignored in favor of the more famous sabretooths like the Smilodon and Homotherium, the dire wolf, the cave lion and cave bear.

And that’s a shame. Because fossil evidence suggests that cave hyenas were actually the most common large predator at the time, and also the dominant one, in much of Eurasian, dominating wolves, lions and even humans. Fossil evidence even suggests humans were often hunted by them! They were also one of the few predators known to take on whooly rhinoceros’, and were extremely succesfull untill the mammoth steppe made way for forest, an envirement they were less suited for, allowing wolves to replace them as the apex predator in most parts of Eurasia.

I doubt it though, unfortunely.
