An artwork appearing on the shutters of London Zoo has been confirmed as the latest and final image in Banksy's surprise animal art trail across the capital.

It shows a gorilla lifting the shutter to release a sea lion and birds, while other animals appear to look on.

It is the ninth Banksy to appear in London since 5 August.

1. It's incredibly "weird" to listen to reporters refer to Banksy's art as Vandalism

And the rush of "security" as if he were a terrorist. The rapid response to remove the art as if it were an explosive device is beyond the pale.
Sure says a lot and doesn't speak well for authorities responding as if he were a terrorist.

2. I think they are concerned people will try and remove it themselves because its incredibly valuable

And possibly cause damage/injuries in doing so. Its an attractive nuissance basically.

3. hmm, fair point. still, it seems sad to me.
