It's a definition. Seriously, is it really this difficult to understand?
If you ask me to define the animal "cat", I don't need to hand you a book explaining what a cat is. A short excerpt from a dictionary should do just fine.
Cat
a : a carnivorous mammal (Felis catus) long domesticated as a pet and for catching rats and mice
b : any of a family (Felidae) of carnivorous usually solitary and nocturnal mammals (such as the domestic cat, lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, cougar, wildcat, lynx, and cheetah)

That is not a definition that is in any way useful.
It has not descriptive or explanatory.
Cool. Anything else?
