Defines as

Hello,

The lecture is about camouflage which the professor defines as to survive animals blend into their surroundings to protect themselves from predators.

After defines as, should I use just noun? For example, I should say '''...defines as a surival method used by animals ...'', but the meaning will be the same?

Thank you so much for your response.
