Banksy unveils rare new artwork of goat on a wall in London as mysterious street artist shares post on Instagram
A RARE new Banksy portraying a goat perched precariously on a wall has been unveiled as the mysterious artist shared a cryptic post.
The famous artist shared his latest creation, located in London, on Instagram this afternoon, leaving fans speculating over its meaning.
The goat appears to be moments away from falling from a height, as rubble breaks off below.
A security camera also appears to be angled directly at the new mural.
"No where else to go. We’re just awaiting the fall," commented one fan.
"Scapegoat", wrote another.

A third joked "The goat is back" in reference to their love of Banksy's work.
It comes after a masterpiece cropped up on Hornsey Road, in Finsbury Park, in March earlier this year.
Locals were shocked when green foliage was painted behind a brutally cropped tree overnight.
The artist confirmed it was his on an Instagram post shortly afterwards.
It was later covered up with a perspex barrier for protection from yobs and vandals who tried destroying it.
Banksy often refers to contemporary issues in his work, and James Peal, from the BBC Radio 4 series The Banksy Story, said: "The message is clear. Nature’s struggling and it is up to us to help it grow back.
"If you go way back to the beginning of his work, he is always looking for something he can do with minimum effort to make something look really cool."
But, some residents hit back and claimed they were concerned the new artwork would hike up rent prices in their area.
Who are Robin Gunningham and his wife Joy Millward
There has been much speculation Banksy's real identity is Robin Gunningham - but who is he?
Robin was born in 1973 in Bristol, also known to be Banksy's long-supposed stomping ground.
He was a pupil at Bristol Cathedral School.
Robin's father, Peter Gordon Gunningham, was a retired contracts manager from the Whitehall area of Bristol.
His mother, Pamela Ann Dawkin-Jones, was a company director's secretary and grew up in the exclusive surroundings of Clifton where he also has an older sister called Sarah.
When Robin was nine, the family moved to a larger home in the same street and it is there he spent his formative years and became interested in graffiti.
Joy Millward, the suspected wife of Banksy, has never broken her silence on rampant speculation.
The lobbyist, from the West Midlands, is understood to have met Gunningham in 2003, just before she started working as a researcher for Labour MP Austin Mitchell.
They got hitched in Las Vegas in 2006 and have been married for 17 years.
A source previously claimed the couple lived in an isolated community and had "little to do with even their closest neighbours".
An insider told the Mail: "Even those they occasionally speak to have no idea who they really are.
"The only people who know his real identity are those in the inner circle, who have been vetted.
"Some of Joy’s relatives have not been told who her husband is or what he does."
