Banksy's latest mural, featuring a rhinoceros on a silver Nissan Micra, was unveiled in Charlton, London, only to be vandalized hours later by a masked individual who spray-painted it, despite onlookers pleading for him to stop. The mural, part of Banksy's ongoing animal series, has drawn significant attention, with local officials expressing regret over the vandalism and considering future protective measures for the artwork. Eyewitnesses described the defacement as occurring quickly, with the vandal leaving behind a white tag that included a dollar sign and a 'V'.

The ongoing debate around the significance of Banksy's work continues as fans and critics alike speculate on the deeper meanings behind the artworks.
