Following the tradition of the Petz series for PC, Ubisoft brings the series to the DS with this title. It is the first game in a new branch called "Wild Animals" and based itself on taking care of dolphins and other sea animals.

The player (portrayed as either Greg or Mila) starts working for their uncle Bob at his marine amusement park as a summer job. The final mission is to manage a zoo that also serves as a sanctuary for endangered species. Apart from dolphins, there are many other animals like orcas, penguins, hammerhead sharks and more to collect.

Pretty sure this one was a gift from my dad, way back in my childhood home. I still have the cart, too, played it recently, because it was surprisingly challenging for me as a kid? I couldn't keep Animal Welfare off my back, because in this fictional universe, environmental regulation is taken seriously. Obvs not as hard now, but if you slip up even a day, they'll getcha.
