Artists create 'world's biggest mural' as they cover a whole STREET of apartment blocks in imaginative designs
A team from French firm CitéCréation painted the side of a row of apartment blocks in the German capital Berlin
The mural, inspired by a nearby zoo, covers an impressive 20,000 square metres of wall in one street
With its colourful depiction of trees, flowers, birds and animals, it's certainly an unusual way to brighten up an otherwise drab block of flats.
And this vivid mural could well be the biggest of its kind in the world, covering an impressive 20,000 square metres of Berlin wall.
Created by French company CitéCréation, the mural features birds, bears and even imaginary residents interacting with the painted wildlife that adorns the Wohngenossenschaft Soldaritaet Coop apartments in the German capital.

Going for glory: The creators of the mural have applied to the Guinness Book of World Records in the hope that their work will be recognised as the largest outdoor mural in the world The impressive work, which the Lyon-based company describes as a trompe-l'oeil, or urban design, was inspired by a nearby zoo.
CitéCréation, which employs around 80 artists at its offices worldwide, has created almost 600 'monumental frescoes' in cities across the globe.
Art enthusiasts can see creations by the firm in Paris, Lisbon, Jerusalem, Yokohama and Quebic among other places.
Every type of building from municipal housing, derelict factories and even an oil refinery have been given a new lease of life by the team.
The company even has another beautiful creation across Berlin - the Fresques Flower Tower makes another block of apartments look far more attractive than they might have done.
