The artist has revealed a new animal artwork each day this week, of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf and pelicans.
The first piece of graffiti in Banksy's new animal-themed series, which was announced on Monday, is near Kew Bridge in south-west London and shows a goat with rocks falling down below it, just above where a CCTV camera is pointed.
On Tuesday the artist added silhouettes of two elephants with their trunks stretched towards each other on the side of a building near Chelsea, west London.
This was followed by three monkeys looking as though they were swinging underneath a bridge over Brick Lane, near a vintage clothing shop in the popular east London market street, not far from Shoreditch High Street.
A wolf was then unveiled howling on a satellite dish on Thursday in Peckham and was then followed the next day with pelicans pinching fish from a chip shop sign in Walthamstow.
