An large canid, possibly a wolf, was killed by a car in The Netherlands last Wednesday night. DNA samples will be analyzed to investigate whether it is a true wolf and where it may have come from. Wolves have been sighted a few times in the Netherlands over the last few years after an absence of more than one hundred years. http://nos.nl/artikel/526336-mogelijk-wolf-doodgereden.html

Updates: In August 2013 it was announced that, based on DNA it was indeed a pure wolf (not a wolf-dog) and that its DNA is most closely related to that of wolves from eastern Europe. However, in October 2013 an additional investigation showed that there were bullet fragments in the wolf that were missed during the initial investigation. While the newspaper articles remain unclear about whether the wolf died or is likely to have died as a result of these bullet wounds, it does cast a serious doubt on the hypothesis that the wolf traveled to The Netherlands on its own and was then killed by a car. It may well be that people shot and killed the wolf in eastern Europe, transported the carcass to The Netherlands, and deposited it along a road as a prank.

Here is an image of a wolf I saw in the Northern Rockies in the USA:
