Animals were usually killed in the ice age for meat and hide. The main animals killed were the Sabretooth tiger, the woolly mammoth, etc. Sources of info.: The main source of information was cave paintings depicting the killing of mammoths and others. Others were like the fossil of a mammoth with a spear through its body.

This is problematic. Here's why: there was more than one ice age, five total that we know of, and these were separated by hundreds of millenia. The various periods of glaciation (ice ages) were: Huronian (lasted 300 million years, 2.4 billion years ago), Chryogenian (lasted 165 million years, 800 million years ago), the Andean-Saharan (lasted 30 million, 450 million years ago), the Karoo Ice Age (lasted 100 million years, 300 million years ago), and the Quarternary glaciation (which began 2.3 million years ago, and which we are currently experiencing and is perhaps coming to a close).

One answer specific to the last great ice age:Many kinds. There were short faced bears, giant bison, wooly mammoths, sabre tooth tiger's and more. Many of these animals, people ate, of course.

Mostly the same ones as now (except for a dearth of dogs ... they were still mostly wolves),

but there were mastodons, and saber tooth cats, and giant ground sloths, and horses.

all of which were well adapted to cold weather.

It COULD have been that man hunted them to extinction -

or there might have been a meteor strike on the north American ice shield,

since horses were not made extinct in Euro-Asia.
