The Samar hornbill (Penelopides samarensis) is a species of hornbill in the Bucerotidae family. It is found in forests on the islands of Samar, Calicoan, Leyte and Bohol in the east-central Philippines. As is the case with all Philippine tarictic hornbills, it has been considered a subspecies of P. panini. Alternatively, it is considered a subspecies of P. affinis.
Walsrode Bird Park is the only place where the bird can be seen in captivity outside the Philippines.[when?] They have one male. San Diego[specify] has bred these birds, but they no longer keep them.
