Banksy’s latest animal themed artwork depicts a rhino mounting a car

Banksy has unveiled the eighth artwork in his animal-themed collection in London, a silhouette of a rhinoceros which looks as though it is climbing on top of a car.
The street artist has been posting artwork to his Instagram at about 1pm every day since Monday, August 5, and the latest piece shows a rhino mounting a silver Nissan Micra, with a traffic cone on its bonnet.
On Westmoor Street in Charlton, southeast London, the work is positioned on the side of a building and gives the appearance the animal is mounting another rhino in the shape of the broken-down car, with the traffic cone representing a horn.
His first piece depicted a goat and was followed by silhouettes of elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans, a cat and fish, which have all popped up in various locations across London.
A manager at a recycling site who works near the location of Banksy’s latest artwork said it is “nice” to “see something different” in the area.
Michael Orajekwe said: “I was going for my lunch break and there was a lot of people in the street where I work, so obviously I was like, ‘Wow, what’s going on?’
