Comments & ID Thoughts
This creature was free inside the tiger pavilion at Prague zoo today. I was afraid to get closer so photo isn't great quality, I know. Size was slightly smaller than an adult human hand. I we called staff who said “that’s not a Czech spider” and was visibly nervous as she reached out for someone to come.

Preface: I am no expert.
However just going by the colour, shape, leg length, shape, and description of it’s size, this is most likely a species of Huntsman spider in the family Sparassidae.
