Banksy frees the animals at London Zoo in final installment of art trail
An artwork appearing on the shutters of the London Zoo has been confirmed as the latest and final image in Banksy’s surprise animal art trail across the British capital. It is the ninth Banksy to appear in as many days in London and follows images that have popped up each morning since last Monday of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans, a cat, piranhas and a rhinoceros.

Street artist Banksy on Tuesday claimed the ninth - and perhaps final - mural of his animal-themed art trail across London, with a painting on the shutters of the capital’s zoo showing a gorilla freeing a sea lion and birds.
The series began with a mountain goat on Monday and was followed by eight other artworks, including three monkeys hanging from a railway bridge, the silhouette of a wolf on a satellite dish and two pelicans above a fish and chip shop.
The zoo painting shows a gorilla praising open a metal shutter to release birds and a sea lion. Banksy has posted pictures of all his murals on his Instagram account.
The BBC, citing Banksy’s team, said the gorilla artwork was the final piece of the series. The artist’s team did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
