Replace integers with rationals or reals.

Having four legs doesn't follow from something being an animal just because there are examples of animals with four legs. A chicken is also an animal.

Having four legs is accidental to being an animal, just as there being an infinite number of elements between any two elements in a set is accidental to its cardinality being infinite.

Chickens have wings at the end of their arms.
