Banksy unveils EIGHTH animal-themed artwork in as many days: Mural of a rhino mounting a Nissan Micra with a traffic cone on its bonnet appears in south east London

Banksy has unveiled the eighth edition to his animal-themed artwork spree across London since last Monday.

The elusive street artist posted a picture of his mural to his official Instagram showing a rhino mounting a Nissan Micra with a traffic cone on its bonnet on Westmore Street in Charlton, south east London.

It comes after the giant fish tank on a police sentry box in London appeared yesterday following dark silhouette images of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans and a cat which have popped up in various locations across the capital city in the past eight days.

The first piece of graffiti in Banksy’s new animal-themed series, which was announced last Monday, is near Kew Bridge in south-west London and shows a goat with rocks falling down below it, just above where a CCTV camera is pointed.

On Tuesday, the artist added silhouettes of two elephants with their trunks stretched towards each other on the side of a building in the Chelsea area of west London.

The following day three monkeys looking as though they were swinging underneath a bridge over Brick Lane appeared.

On Wednesday, Banksy confirmed that the three monkeys looking as though they were swinging underneath a bridge over Brick Lane as the third artwork in the series

The artwork showing the silhouette of a wolf howling appeared on a rooftop in Peckham. It was the fourth piece in a series of murals that have been unveiled in the last eight days

The fourth artwork appeared on a rooftop in Peckham on Thursday and showed the silhouette of a lone wolf howling into the night sky against the backdrop of a satellite dish – which seemed to represent a moon.

It was removed by a group of masked men within minutes of being unveiled – Banksy has denied any involvement in the theft after fans speculated that it could have been another one of his controversial stunts.

The famed guerilla artist confirmed on Friday that he is neither connected to nor endorses the theft, adding that he has ‘no knowledge as to the dish’s current whereabouts’. 

The fifth design, of pelicans pinching fish from a London chip shop sign in Walthamstow, east London, was revealed on Friday. 

This was followed by a large cat silhouette on Saturday which was sprayed onto an abandoned billboard in Cricklewood, appearing to show the animal stretching and scratching at a broken part of the wood. The broken fence, along with the Banksy artwork, was taken down the same day.
