1The famous street artist known as Banksy recently announced a new painting on another wall along a street in London.
2The image is of a rhinoceros that appears to be climbing on top of a real car parked in front of the mural.
3The work is part of a new series of animal-centered murals that Banksy has created in the British capital.
4The collection includes paintings of elephants, a goat, a wolf, pelicans and more.
5The secretive artist, who has never confirmed his official identity, has been announcing the new work on his Instagram social media page.
6One of the pieces shows a group of the sharp-toothed fish called piranhas.
7That piece was painted on a police emergency call box near the Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey.
8A small crowd of people gathered near that artwork recently, taking photographs as some city workers placed barriers around it.
9A spokesman for the city government said it is considering how to preserve the work.
10Another recent work is of pelicans eating fish.
11The mural was painted above the sign of a fish market in east London.
12Another Banksy painting appeared on a satellite dish.
13It showed a wolf, mouth open and head pointed up, as if howling.
14However, that artwork did not remain in place long.
15A video posted online shows three men removing the piece and carrying it away hours after Banksy announced its existence.
16Banksy began his career by spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England.
17He has since become one of the world's best-known artists.
18His work has sold for millions of dollars.
