A Banksy artwork on the shutters of London Zoo has been removed for “safekeeping” and to allow the attraction to use its full entrance during the summer period.
The piece, which shows a gorilla lifting the shutter to release a sea lion and birds, has been replaced with a replica.
A sign nearby now reads “Banksy woz ere” and offers an apology to disappointed fans of the street artist.
It was the ninth Banksy to appear in as many days in London and follows images of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans, a cat, piranhas and a rhinoceros.
