If you are assuming humans aren't animals in this question (which they are), then animals are. Especially if you are including insects. There are some speciesof insects that outnumber the human race alone. But insects aside, there are many more animals than humans.

There are far more animals in the world, than their are humans. Take my farm for example. We have a very small farm compatively. Yet my husband and I are outnumbered by animals 50 to 1 as of this moment. The numbers will be MUCH higher, when all the young animals start being born, as the rabbits usually have litters of 6, and the goats have at least twins.
Domestic animals used livestock outnumber humans alone. Not to mention all the wild animals.
Apparently you have never walked through a field of wheat that missed being harvested due to bad weather. The shear numbers of rodents in that small area of concentrated food is staggering.
In fact, I bet the numbers of rodents on the earth FAR outnumber humans....you wouldn't even need to count any of the other animals.
Then if you start thinking about the life in the oceans, the number are even more titanic for the animals.
Of course the insects outnumber us all...animals, birds, humans, fish.

The question is a bit unclear.
Humans are animals because we are in the animal kingdom.
Of course there are more kinds and greater populations of many other animals besides humans. Just think how many rats or mice there must be, if you are only considering mammals. If you are considering the entire animal kingdom, then beetles exist in awesome variety and number.

Consider this; in and around your home are thousands of insects and arachnids, dozens of birds, maybe dozens of rodents even. How many people live in and around your house?
Besides, there are a lot of farm animals and wild animals away from human habitations.
There are WAY more animals in the world than humans.
