156 feces samples from predators that belong to the Non-Governmental organization "Feldman Eco-park" (Kharkiv, Ukraine) were investigated for four years (2016)(2017)(2018)(2019). Eggs/oocysts of various gastrointestinal parasites were found in 46 feces samples that made up 29.5%. There were 13 positive samples in Caniformia (28.3%) and 33 in Feliformia (71.7%). All diagnosed parasitoses were caused by monoxenic (single-host) geohelminths and protozoa with a direct development cycle. The most common parasite species was Toxascaris leonina (60.9%) followed by nematodes of the Ancylostomatidae family (19.6%), protozoa genus Isospora (8.7%), Toxocara cati (6.5%) and the least common parasite was Toxocara canis (4.3%).
