Das Panzernashorn (Rhinoceros unicornis), auch Indisches Panzernashorn und Indisches Nashorn genannt, gehört zur Familie der Nashörner in Asien und Afrika. Das einhörnige Nashorn ist auf dem Indischen Subkontinent beheimatet und heute nur noch im Nordosten Indiens und in geschützten Gebieten im Terai Nepals zu finden. Im Jahr 2008 hat die IUCN das Panzernashorn als gefährdet eingestuft, wobei die Population durch Schutzmaßnahmen zunimmt.
