An adult male raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray, 1834) run over by a car was found on September 6, 2002, in the central part of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (UTM: EM 54). This is the first record of this species on the territory of the FYRM, and the southernmost point of its European range so far. This finding indicates a range extension of the raccoon dog on the Balkan Peninsula.
