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 unveiling artwork to his Instagram at around 1pm every day since Monday August 5.
His first piece depicted a goat and was followed by silhouettes of elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans, and a cat as well as artwork of piranhas, which have all popped up in various locations across London.
His latest graffiti design, located on Westmoor Street in Charlton, is situated on the side of a building and has been designed to look as though the animal is climbing onto a car parked next to the property.

On Sunday the street artist confirmed he was behind artwork depicting a school of piranhas which appeared on a police sentry box in the City of London.
Barriers were put around the piranha design after it was unveiled with City of London police officers turning up to examine the piece.
A City of London Corporation spokesperson said it was looking through options to “preserve” it.
A crowd of people stood around taking photographs of the fish tank-themed Banksy near the Old Bailey on Monday as workmen in hi-vis jackets cordoned off the attraction.
In the historic Old Bailey courts, Judge Mark Lucraft KC discharged a jury after it failed to reach a verdict in a death by careless driving trial and suggested they might enjoy the warm weather with a visit the nearby Banksy instead.
The artist’s sixth piece – a stretching cat on an empty, distressed advertising billboard – was removed from its location in north-west London hours after it was revealed on Saturday.
Crowds booed as the piece in Cricklewood was dismantled by three men who said they were “hired” by a “contracting company” to take down the billboard for safety reasons.
The cat design was the second piece to be removed last week after a painting of a howling wolf on a satellite dish was taken off the roof of a building in Peckham, south London, less than an hour after it was unveiled.
