LONDON, April 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

"I spent all morning on VIRRY with my two boys and we love it. We fed a lion and watched a rhino live all from our living room sofa. It's a safe, educational and utterly compelling way to learn about the animals we love. Get on it, it's brilliant!" Dominic West, Actor

BAFTA award-winning independent children's app VIRRY announces this stunning wildlife experience is available on iPhone and Apple TV from Thursday 14 April 2016.

VIRRY connects children with wild lions, rhinos, giraffes and meerkats, bringing them into homes through live interactive high definition footage. Children learn and grow by exploring a vivid world of real animals where they feed, play with and care for them. And the move to Apple TV means a new, fully immersive big screen experience that nurtures kids' learning through nature.

VIRRY Creator Svetlana Dragayeva says: "After our hugely successful launch on iPad last year, the move to Apple TV harnesses cutting edge technology and creates a compelling learning experience, we are extremely excited about what this move means for the next generation's learning, development and knowledge of the natural world."
