'Animal' is a very broad term which encompasses humans themselves. However, if you meant which area of the brain grants humans their higher thinking capabilities, then the answer would be the cerebral cortex, and more specifically, the frontal lobe. In terms of brain mass to body size, humans have a five times heavier brain than 'normal'.

What does your brain let you do that animals cannot do?
Animals, specifically mammals, can do most things that humans can do. What humans do in a more sophisticated way, however, is emote. Humans are capable of more complex, empathetic feelings than are animals, and they are able to relate to each other accordingly. These emotions are what separate humans from the animals.
