Another artwork by Banksy appeared on the hatches at London Zoo on Tuesday, showing a gorilla lifting a hatch to let a number of animals out. It is the ninth work to shown in the capital of Great Britain over the past few days and will be the last in the latest series, Banksy’s team confirmed to CBS News partner network BBC News.

Banksy images of animals have been spotted every morning since August 5, showing elephants, monkeys, a goat, a wolf, pelicans and other creatures.
The final artwork was posted on Banksy’s social media page on Tuesday morning. There was no caption.
Overnight, London Zoo posted a picture of the artwork with the caption: “Is the (big) cat out of the bag? Have our animals helped make people smile across London this week?”

In recent days, Banksy artworks have appeared all over London, from the walls of fish and chip shops to public transport bridges. One of the works, which showed a wolf and was painted on a satellite dish, appeared to have been stolen almost immediately after it was revealed.
Images of the works have been posted on Banksy’s social media account daily at around the same time. None of the posts contained captions.
