Banksy unveils ninth artwork: Gorilla art appears at the entrance of London Zoo

It comes after his last piece, a rhino mounting a silver Nissan Micra with a traffic cone on its bonnet, was defaced by a man wearing a black balaclava just hours after it went up

A new piece of artwork at London Zoo has been confirmed as belonging to Banksy, marking his ninth artwork in the capital in nine days.

The new piece, located on a shutter at the zoo’s entrance, shows a gorilla lifting it up allowing a number of birds to escape, while the eyes of other animals can be seen lurking in the darkness.
