I have seen videos of some of the animal mothers not taking care of their babies after giving birth and ignoring them completely or even acting exasperated with them . Why does this happen? Is it the same reason as some human mothers who accidently got pregnant not being interested in parenthood?

Some animals just don’t care about their young. How animals interact with their young is very much an evolutionary trait. Some animals will never even see their young. They just lay the egg and let nature take it’s course. Others, like primates, raise and live with them for years. Social systems in the animal kingdom are incredibly complex and humans are not exempt from that.
