I have heard that humans are not animals because it says so in the bible. I wanna know where so that there is something to back this information up.

The Bible says that snakes and bushes talk. I wouldn't expect to find reliable information in it.
Genesis can't even decide in which order things were created. Many contradictions.

Only in that human beings were created to enclose a soul within and animals were created as a separate endeavor.
What I mean is that God did not create all humans along with the animals and then say "let the humans be divided from the hairy ones with several feet". Common sense, at some point, should prevail here.

Genesis 1:20-23 God created everything living thing in the waters and every winged fowl that flies in the air.
Genesis 1:24-25 God created all animals that live and creep on the the land.
Genesis 1:26 God created man after His image and gave him dominion over all of the animals living on the land, the fowl of the air, and those creatures living in the waters & the seas.

In Genesis 1-3, you will find your answer. Animals & humans were both created on day six, but were created separately & differently. Genesis 2 will go into more detail about the special treatment that was given to humans. God reserved His own breath for humans for one. This is why they are considered to be created in the image of the Creator--God is Spirit & this is what God's breath is for us, our spirit.
In the Hebrew of this text, the word "nephesh" (soulish) is used to describe both animals & humans. So there are certain similarities in that animals & man; both have personalities, are sentient, emotive & have lifeblood flowing through them. But humans are the crown of creation being created in God's image & also having free will & reasoning skills unlike animals who were "pre-programmed" with instinct.
Hope that helps.

Read Genesis about the creation first. The animals were created, then the humans, in
"Our" image. (God's, Jesus)
Then, read 1 Corinthians 15:39
"ALL FLESH IS NOT THE SAME FLESH, but there is one kind of flesh of men, ANOTHER flesh of animals, ANOTHER flesh of fish, and ANOTHER of birds."
Then read, Ecclesiastes 3:18
I said in my heart, "concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are LIKE the animals." (not animals themselves)
Then read, Isaiah 45:12
(creator's statement)
"I have made the earth, and created man on it"
Then read Hebrews 11:1-3
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN WERE NOT MADE OF THINGS WHICH ARE VISIBLE."

Genesis and Romans.Also,beastiality is listed as a sin because animals and humans are not one and the same.It's logical to say evolutionists have no problem with that as they believe we are animals.

Read Genesis chapters 1 through 3
It clearly states that humans and animals are 2 seperate creations....
And then goes on to tell us about sin and why we need a Savior.

God created man in His own image. That makes us apart from animals, and it also accounts for the huge intellectual gap that separates humans and animals, that evolutionists cannot explain.

Genesis 1:24Â And God went on to say: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” And it came to be so. 25Â And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good.
26Â And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27Â And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28Â Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”
29Â And God went on to say: “Here I have given to YOU all vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is the fruit of a tree bearing seed. To YOU let it serve as food. 30Â And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.” And it came to be so.
So God put the animals in subjection to the humans.
