Another Banksy has appeared in England’s capital – this time at London Zoo.
The artwork depicting a gorilla, seal and birds marks his ninth instalment in a series so far focused solely on animals.
Speculation about the meaning of this artwork varies, with some commenting that it’s an “anti-zoo message” and others calling it a “tribute to London Zoo”.
Banksy‘s latest graffiti campaign began last week, when an ibex goat appeared near Kew Bridge, in Richmond, west London.
This was followed by murals of elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans and a cat, which appeared in various locations across the capital – and swimming piranhas appearing overnight in a police box in the City of London on Sunday.
Fans thought the series might finish at the end of last week – but another mural of a rhino appearing to mount an old silver Nissan Micra was found yesterday.
After the discovery of the gorilla artwork, London Zoo’s media manager Rebecca Blanchard told Sky News: “This is his [Banksy’s] incredible new mural.
“It’s at our entrance and will be available for people to see and admire. It’s very cool!”
Some think this could mark the end of Banksy’s latest campaign, with one Instagram user commenting: “Looks like the final one – where it all started.”
