For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi3c5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Breathing</a> is an instance, though <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj17JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Flying_FlappingWings</a> is not, because all mammals breathe but only some fly. type of mammal capability MammalCapabilityType types of mammal capability This is the collection of types of action which can be <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1HmJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> all normal adult animals in typical circumstances. They are animal capabilities in the sense that we expect any normal adult animal to be able to do them, as opposed to the sense that some animal can do them. Also, this is not the collection of actions which must be done by an animal, for which see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViNqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AnimalActivity</a>.

Each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQXZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DailyPersonalCleaning</a> encompasses the standard cleaning and grooming activities that an animal engages in over the course of a day. Such a `daily routine' is almost sure to include many brief grooming and cleaning actions, such as licking one's paws, combing one's hair, washing one's hands, shaving, bathing, etc., and those are sub-events of that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQXZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DailyPersonalCleaning</a> event. For example, a human's <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQXZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DailyPersonalCleaning</a> might have a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVio-JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TeethCleaning</a> as one of its sub-events, along with a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj4cZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TakingABath</a>, two instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi9U5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CombingHair</a>, etc. Note: Those specialized kinds of events, like <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi9U5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CombingHair</a>, are NOT subsets of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQXZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DailyPersonalCleaning</a>, since it would be abnormal for someone to JUST comb their hair each day (and do absolutely no other daily cleaning activity whatsoever).

However, daydreaming or having undesired obsessive thoughts are not examples. A borderline example might be arriving at the solution to a math problem in one's sleep after intentionally working on the problem during the previous day.
