"Almost" is a bit vague and probably too strong, but they are mostly water, just like other mammals.

Therefore they are more properly classified as soups.

Maybe they're more broth-like? Also the paper at https://www.drgoulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Rheology-... seems to indicate that they are "active rheological materials" and therefore probably non-Newtonian.
