If you have children, and they're into animal video games, you may already be familiar with the popular "Petz" series of games from Ubisoft. These games are generally made for owning and nurturing dogs, cats, horses and other domestic or farm animals. However, Ubisoft recently announced at the Leipzig Games Convention that they will be making a new series in the Petz line that will focus on endangered animal rescue to encourage environmental awareness.

These games, available for the Nintendo DS and/or Wii, include the titles Petz Rescue Wildlife Vet, Petz Rescue Endangered Paradise and Petz Rescue Ocean Patrol. Ubisoft hopes these games will help children understand the importance of animal conservation and care. They will be available throughout North America in October of 2008.
