it might have something to do with La Brea Tar Pits, which, I guess, might be near, and to show, that even California had african-esque diversity of megafauna just few thousands years ago
Could be, the whole LA-SD area is just sort of a West Coast megalopolis.
You raise an interesting point. Like I pointed out in the first post, this is just a first version of this TL, and I'll probably make an improved v.2 some time. When I do, I'm planning on pushing the POD back a thousand years or so and saving some other Ice Age critters for the sake of flavor.
