If you include arthropods, ants make it not even remotely close.

"Land vertebrates", #1 is chickens, #2 is humans. But colloquially "animal" does not include ants or fish.

In terms of biomass humans are much larger than ants.
Humans and our cattle are something like 95% of all land mammals, maybe they're thinking of that.
