Banksy’s new beaver stencil shows up in East New York, according to his official #BanksyNY site (all images via banksy.co.uk)

As a Canadian, I’m rather happy to see a beaver in New York, particularly on a day when Canadian author [Alice Munro is awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature](http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/alice-munro-is-1st-canadian-woman-to-win-nobel-literature-prize-1.1958383?ref=hyperallergic.com).

Yes, the work is a one-liner, yes, it will never survive the streets of NYC (has anyone tagged it yet?) but you can’t but admire the little critter and I do like the small pile of dirt the national symbol of Canada is standing on. *Oh, Canada!*

In the meantime, we’ll do our best impression of a [*coureur de bois*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coureur%5Fdes%5Fbois?ref=hyperallergic.com) and let you know as soon as we track down this diminutive Banksy’s whereabouts.

**UPDATE, 1:36 pm**: The work is at Bradford St and Pitkin Ave; a man on the scene, who says he walks by the spot everyday, mentioned that it must’ve gone up last night because he hasn’t seen it. Photos below.

**UPDATE 2, 3:20pm:** According to the chatter on Instagram, a number of men, who I encountered when I visited the site, have now covered up the Banksy and are asking people to pay them $5 for photos. American capitalism at work, people!

**Update 3, 3:30pm:** [Walking and Typing](http://instagram.com/p/fS4MADyWWD/?ref=hyperallergic.com) may have uncovered another, as yet unannounced, Banksy truck piece (h/t [Street Art News](http://www.streetartnews.net/2013/10/banksy-stuffed-animals-new-truck.html?ref=hyperallergic.com#more)):

**Update 4**: The Gothamist is now [reporting](http://gothamist.com/2013/10/10/video%5Fthings%5Fare%5Fgetting%5Finterestin.php?ref=hyperallergic.com#photo-1) that price to photograph the East New York Banksy has been hiked to $20.
