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.
