The objective of this study was to identify endoparasite in the Spotted deers’ ( Axis axis ) gastrointestinal tract conserved in Taman Pintu Satu (Park entrance) Hasanuddin University, Makassar. The study was conducted from October to December 2014 and continued in February 2015. Thirty-three samples were collected randomly and examined by the fluid method. Results showed that endoparasites were found in one of 25 samples in the dry season and three of eight samples in the wet season. The endoparasites were identified as Oesophagostomum spp, Haemonchus sp, Eimeria spp. The season, geographical location, and temperature were considered as the most critical factors of the occurrence of parasites in one place. This finding indicates that some factors could lead to the occurrence of endoparasites in animals, especially in Spotted deer.
