Animals that mate for life include a seabird called a prion, French angel fish, pigeons, ospreys, prairie voles, coyotes, beavers, barn owls, golden eagles, red tailed hawks, black vultures, swans, condors, anglerfish, brolga cranes, Gibbon apes, termites and of course America’s much beloved bald eagle.
An amazing 90 percent of birds mate for life. This is impressive considering there are upwards of 10,000 species of birds. Only about 3 percent of mammals are monogamous.
Philandering does take place among the monogamous species with exception of the California field mouse. Studies have shown that this Mickey never mates with anyone but his own little Minnie at anytime during its life.
Seahorses are monogamous animals, which is quite out of the ordinary. Seahorses also display another interesting reproductive characteristic, which is male pregnancy. In most animals, maternal care is usually the focus of the reproduction of that animal. For Seahorses however, the male plays a role much larger than just fertilization.

Of course they do.
Other than primates elephants are an excellent case of such. They are known to stick with and take care of sick herd members, keep them company when dying, heck there are even tons of cases where orphaned baby elephant will die from depression after the loss of their mother.
Such behavior is the most simple to see in pack/herd type animals. Wolves are another good example.

Oh, they have more class than humans. When another piece of tail goes prancing by in the forest, they stay with the mate. Well, a lion does have his pride, but then that's why he's the king of the jungle.
