Banksy released this one late in the day, perhaps so that no one can get good photos of this one during the day? Regardless, this one, called “[Bronx Zoo](http://www.banksyny.com/2013/10/30/bronx-zoo?ref=hyperallergic.com),” is near Yankee’s Stadium in the Bronx.

Judging by another photo on Instagram (posted here), there is more than one animal made by Banksy As the commenter pointed out, this pic is from the Cans festival, so it is a repeat people … interesting. Maybe he’s transformed the neighborhood into a mini-graffiti zoo? Happy hunting! And we’ll report back soon.

[Animal is reporting](https://twitter.com/ANIMALNewYork/status/395682729255108608?ref=hyperallergic.com) it is located at East 162nd Street and Jerome Avenue, though they do not intersect, so we’re guessing it is by those two streets. We still have to confirm this.

In other news, Banksy — obviously — isn’t the only street art game in town, so [Swoon’s recent mural](http://gothamist.com/2013/10/30/photos%5Fswoon%5Funveils%5Fhurricane%5Fsand.php?ref=hyperallergic.com#photo-1) that popped up at the Bowery mural on Houston is a welcome addition to the streetscape, but another artist, Invader, has also shown up to hit various spots around downtown Manhattan (he doesn’t appear to have ventured far beyond that area).
