Description of Winnie as a mammal? (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

honey bear

This clue could be a double definition.

'description of winnie' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a mammal?' is the second definition.
(honey bear is a kind of mammal)

'as' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
