Do animals avoid incest when mating in the wild?

Moreover, do animals remember or recognize their siblings and then avoid mating with them in the wild?

Yes! Many animals exhibit inbreeding avoidance, consciously or subconsciously. Visual recognition as well as scent / pheramones often play a role in determining kinship. Some animals have a very low risk of inbreeding because they disperse far from where they are born or they are a member of a very large population; these animals tend to have less developed kin recognition!
