Pictures on social media appear to show the artwork has already been covered up by large sheets of plastic and two metal barriers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The artwork is being guarded by security officials outside the building and sits underneath a CCTV camera.<\/p>\n
The Bristol-based street artist shared a photo of the wall art on Instagram, which is Banksy’s usual method of claiming a work as authentic. The artist captioned the picture: “Royal Courts Of Justice. London.”<\/p>\n
The artwork is on an external wall of the Queen’s Building, part of the Royal Courts of Justice complex.<\/p>\n

Last summer, the artist began an animal-themed campaign in the capital of nine works, which concluded with a gorilla appearing to lift up a shutter on the entrance to London Zoo.<\/p>\n
Other notable works included piranhas swimming on a police sentry box in the City of London, and a howling wolf on a satellite dish, which was taken off the roof of a shop in Peckham, south London, less than an hour after it was unveiled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
