Can animals mate with other animals of the same species again and again?

In animals that live in groups, a single dominant male will often lead the group and mate with all the females, polygamously. The male's instinctive role is to spread its seed, its own specific DNA, as much as it possibly can to keep it's DNA chain going. In other animals, mating is less restrictive within a group. And there are some animals that mate only with a single partner with whom they are paired for life.
In some pair bonds, the male leaves the female after the cub is born or matured.

Why do animals only mate with the same type of animal?
Animals generally only mate with their own species due to ingrained behavior and the genetics of attraction. There are examples of inter species mating with similar species, especially if the population of one species is so depressed that the ability to find a mate of the same species is remote. This behavior occurs because the drive to reproduce is very high.
