Ants are indeed considered animals.
Animals are any multi-cellular organism that eats other organisms to obtain energy/food (rather than producing their own food through photosynthesis like plants).
The confusion comes in because many people (incorrectly) use 'animal' as a synonym for 'mammal'. But mammals are just one, tiny, tiny portion of the entire diversity of all of the Animal Kingdom.
In addition to ants and all other insects, things like barnacles, snails, lobsters, clams, birds, sharks, earthworms, leeches, liver flukes, jellyfish, sea anemones, coral and even sponges are all animals.
