The need for large game for the sabre tooths to hunt makes sense. If the island was forested like, say, Pitcairn Island maybe you could have some kind of pygmy forest mammoth. But not mammoths with woolly fur designed for ice age conditions. And probably not in the jungle. Unless the the mammoths had independently invented air conditioning. How about something from the deer family, or really big wild pig-type things. Or how about a species of large flightless bird like the
Moa or the roc aka
Aepyornis. Both those species almost survived into the modern age, and the moa lived on remote islands (New Zealand).
