Banksy, the famous graffiti artist, has painted nine animal pictures around London.

His animal trail started in south-west London with a goat on a rocky ledge.

The next day, he painted two elephants on windows in Chelsea.

Some people think that the elephants are a comment on climate change.

In east London, he painted three monkeys on a bridge.

Crowds of people came to see each new painting.

Two pelicans were painted on a fish and chip shop in north-east London.

This brought the business many new customers.

Banksy's art is at risk because it's famous and in public.

The elephant painting was damaged with white paint.

A wolf on a satellite dish in south London was stolen soon after it was painted.

His rhino painting, which was standing on a car in south-east London, was tagged by another artist.

People want to protect Banksy's art.

A big cat in north-west London was removed for safety.

Swimming piranhas on a police box were also taken away.

Banksy's last painting was at London Zoo.

It showed a gorilla helping a seal and birds escape.

The zoo is delighted and it removed the painting to protect it.

Later, the words "Banksy woz 'ere" appeared.
