Virry is an award-winning app that helps children get closer to nature and it is now available on iPhones and the Apple TV.

The app is like Twitch or Periscope for wild animals. It brings users a live, interactive high-definition feed of lions, rhinos, giraffes, meerkats and more in their natural habitat.

Virry was designed in partnership with child development experts as a way of helping users aged between three and seven reach key educational objectives. However, more than that, it is hoped the app, which until now was an iPad-only title, will help the next generation to care for endangered species.

Virry's creator Svetlana Dragayeva said: "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."

Since its launch, it has won a BAFTA and a Webby Award and is again nominated in two Webby categories for 2016.

Virry is a subscription-based app which can be paid for on a 12-month ($9.99), six-month ($4.99) or monthly ($0.99) basis.
