				<title>ABSTRACT</title>
				<p>The  current  study  was  carried  out  to  identify  the  two  different  wild  ungulate  species of  Cervidae  family:  Spotted  deer  and  Sambar found  to  distribute  though  out  the Saurashtra  region  of  the  Gujarat  State,  much  common  in  the  protected  forest  areas  of  the  Gir  and  Girnar  Wildlife  Sanctuaries  through  their  macro  and  microscopic  features  of  dorsal  guard  hair  characteristics.   In  these  we  collected  control  hair  samples  from the  Sakkarbaug  Zoo  of  Junagadh  district  which  were  further  analyzed  microscopically.  We  analyzed  total  thirty  random guard  hairs  from dorsal  region  of  the  each species,  thus  in  total  sixty  hairs  studied  under  the  microscope  to  avail  authentic  and  the  photographic  evidences  for  further  carnivore  scat  analysis  using  such  references.  In  this  study  we  used  the  recognizable  qualitative  and  quantitative  features  of  cuticle  as  well  as  medulla.  Medullary  Index  (MI)  found  in  Sambar  is  0.92 &amp;plusmn; 0.01  &amp;micro;m  followed  by  spotted  deer  0.67 &amp;plusmn; 0.01  &amp;micro;m. </p>
