Another artwork by Banksy appeared on the shutters of London Zoo on Tuesday, depicting a gorilla lifting a shutter to release a number of animals. It is the ninth work that appear in the British capital in recent days and will be the last in the current series, Banksy’s team confirmed to CBS News partner network BBC News.

Since August 5, Banksy’s animal paintings have been discovered every morning, depicting elephants, monkeys, a goat, a wolf, pelicans and other animals.
The finished artwork was posted on Banksy’s social media page on Tuesday morning. There was no caption.
Overnight, London Zoo posted an image of the artwork with the caption: “Is the (big) cat out of the bag? Have our animals helped bring smiles to people’s faces across London this week?”

Over the past few days, Banksy artworks have been popping up all over London, from fish and chip shop walls to public transport bridges. One of the works, depicting a wolf painted on a satellite dish, was apparently stolen almost immediately after it was discovered.
Images of the works were posted to Banksy’s social media account at approximately the same time each day. None of the posts included captions.
