@Dangermouse and dandoucette ! You both are right, this was a kind of a butterfly house. Thank you both for ID suggestion. :)

I thought they were tropical animals, just remembering what I've learnt from other peoples' spottings on here. Maybe it was a butterfly house.

You're right Dangermouse. I'm just wondering where he saw this in Quebec! Must be at a Butterfly Conservatory or something similar.

Looks like an atlas moth. I've only ever seen photos, on here, but I think that's what it is.
