Banksy unveils EIGHTH animal-themed paintings in as many days
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.
This was followed by three monkeys looking as though they were swinging underneath a bridge over Brick Lane, near a vintage clothing shop in the popular east London market street, not far from Shoreditch High Street.

Another new artwork, confirmed to be by Banksy, was unveiled on a wall of a house in Chelsea, London on Tuesday
The fifth design, of pelicans pinching fish from a London chip shop sign in Walthamstow, east London, was revealed on Friday.
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.
