The Predators by Mark Washburn & Robert Webb Stein and Day (1985) blurb... THE DEATHBATTLE OF THE CENTURY
Big -time promoter Augie Zisk sets up the biggest Deathbattle ever between the fiercest creature of the sea, a 20-foot, 4,000-pound Great White Shark, and the fiercest creature on land, a 12-foot, 2,000-pound Kodiak Brown Bear.
Watching on cable TV: 10 million people. They are in for one helluva surprise.Totally ludicrous concept aside, this was a highly entertaining book. It starts off with the tracking/capturing of the two animals before moving on to the training stage, where they fling various creatures of increasing size at our leads (shark eats a bull, bear takes a hammerhead etc.) The final battle obviously ends up a bit messy. Aside from all this, we have a sexy shark lady who can't keep her knickers on and a Grizzly Adams clone spouting his wisdom. Not to mention the political rumblings going on in the backwater banana republic they're broadcasting the event from! There's no much animal on human action but the bear does manage to mush a man up.

The Pack by John G. Fuller St. Martin's (1989) blurb... WHEN YOU CAN'T RUN AND YOU CAN'T HIDE, YOU DIE...SLOWLY.
In the warm, inviting days of summer, tragedy unfolds on Connecticut's idyllic shore. With stately homes overlooking the sparkling, sail-studded waters of Long Island Sound, this picture-perfect refuge is suddenly shattered by a series of terrifying catastrophes. In the wake of a nuclear accident at an offshore power plant, teeming hordes of vicious, irradiated rats threaten the homes, the water supply, the very lives of every resident on the mainland. Now the local townspeople have more than a nuclear nightmare to fear, as a new kind of black plague descends upon them. Now they must fight for raw survival – hoping against hope for a solution – against dark forces of nature gone utterly berserk...Very disappointing this one, not nearly enough rat action and too much talking about nuclear reactors.

It's probably The Horrific World of Monsters by Dulan Barber, or it's earlier release as Monster's Who's Who.
