London's graffiti animals - 26th August 2024

There’s some new animal graffiti in London. The famous graffiti artist Banksy painted it.

First, there was a goat on some rocks. The next day, he painted two elephants in Chelsea. The elephants are looking at each other through windows.

Then, Banksy painted two birds on a fish and chip shop. The shop got lots of customers.

Banksy’s art is in danger. Someone painted white lines on his elephants. Another artist wrote on his painting of a rhino. And someone stole his wolf painting in south London.

Some people want to stop this damage. They moved his big painting of a cat. They want to keep it safe. Banksy painted piranhas on a blue police box. The police moved this to a safe place too.

The last painting was at London Zoo. It showed a gorilla, a seal and some birds. The zoo was excited. They moved the painting for safety. Then, someone wrote “Banksy woz 'ere.”
