I'm still wrapping my head around what he thinks any difference is between "animals" and "creatures". The words are usually considered synonymous, as meaning "any member of the animal kingdom that isn't H. sapiens", but maybe he's one those "mammals = animals" people, but I was hoping he was smarter than that.

Are bacteria considered animals?
No, bacteria belong to a kingdom all their own. In fact, a bacterial cell isn't anything like an animal cell, in that it lacks a nucleus.
There used to be "single-celled animals", like Amoeba and Paramecium, but I think they got demoted and removed to their own kingdom.
