After just eight days, Banksy has returned with his eighth animal-themed piece of art, this time a humorous mural of a rhino in London.
The animal is shown on an ancient, silver Nissan Micra that has a traffic cone on its bonnet, seemingly to mimic a different rhinoceros.
An ibex goat that surfaced last week near Kew Bridge in Richmond, west London marked the start of Banksy's most recent graffiti campaign. Following this were murals depicting pelicans, elephants, monkeys, wolves, cats and other animals around the capital.
Here is a full list of old and new Banksy artwork that’s still up in London.
Rhino, Charlton
The rhino mural, which is on Westmoor Street in Charlton, south-east London, is made to appear as though the animal is climbing up a car that looks to have been dumped. Subsequent photos reveal that a skip has been positioned next to it. Banksy has confirmed the work is his on his Instagram page

Tree, Hornsey Road

Two days after the mural's creation, it was vandalised with two coats of white paint. To safeguard the artwork and discourage future damage, a large plastic sheet and a fence have been installed.

The cartoon depicting the royal family waving from a balcony had been untouched for eight years on the side of a block of flats in Stoke Newington, east London, until Hackney council intervened in 2009 and painted over a large portion of it.
After protests by the locals, the council stopped trying to obliterate the artwork so the caricature is partly visible.
In 2003, Blur used the image for their Think Tank album.
