The Dire Beasts here on Earth were part of the Mega Fauna. There were Dire Sloths (Almost 40 feet long) Dire Cats (Sabertooths) all sorts of beasts.

Very few dire beasts (Mega Fuana) survived the last ice age. Mammoths, giant sloths, wolves, cats, most of them died. The Bison survived, as did a few rare species of wolves. The true Dire Wolf no longer exists, only pseudo dires. The true Dire Wolf stood nearly 7 foot tall at the shoulder and weighed almost 800 to 900 pounds. They were the super preditor during the glacial age. Think of wolves the size of horses that frequently hunted mammoths and musk oxen.
