Banksy has unveiled nine new animal-themed pieces of art across London recently.

The elusive British street artist has been posting artwork to his Instagram at around 1pm every day since last Monday (August 5).

The designs have included everything from Piranhas on a police box to a rhino mounting a silver Nissan Micra with a traffic cone on its bonnet.

New Banksy artwork removed and defaced

Several of Banksy's new designs have already been removed or defaced.

Banksy unveiled a painting of a wolf howling on a satellite dish in Peckham, south London, on Thursday (August 8).

Less than an hour after it had been revealed, the wolf design was removed by three men, according to a witness speaking to the PA news agency.

The sixth piece, a stretching cat on an empty, distressed advertising hoarding, was removed from its location in north-west London hours after it was unveiled on Saturday (August 10).

Crowds booed as the piece in Cricklewood was dismantled by three men who said they were “hired” by a “contracting company” to take down the billboard for safety reasons.

Then on Monday (August 12) the Banksy piece of a rhino mounting a silver Nissan Micra with a traffic cone on its bonnet, was defaced by a man wearing a black balaclava.

Located in Charlton’s Westmoor Street, the rhino piece was revealed on Monday and a video obtained by BBC News shows a man walking up to the artwork and spray painting it, leaving a white tag on it.
