No it's water released out of the Siphon.
This is a very good question. Squids move through the water at high speeds using a jet propulsion-like organ called a "siphon". What the siphon does is take in water and thrust it out, much like a jet engine. The end result is the jet-like streamline of a squid.
The squid sucks up water a tube called the siphon, then shoots it out to provide locomotion by jet propulsion.
The squid has a muscular mantle (outer covering) which, when expanded, fills with water. When these muscles contract, water is expelled through a single siphon and the squid is propelled in the opposite direction. The squid can control its direction by rotating (moving) the siphon.

Sounds like you are talking about octopus and squids which are not mammals.
Waste exits a squid by being transported through the anus and out of the siphon.
A siphon enables the animal to squirt water, and move quickly by jet propulsion. Squids do this if they need a quick burst of speed, to grab prey or escape, and scallops use it to swim up and around, for example (look it up on YouTube, it looks really nonsensical!).
The opposite direction of the water it moved.
Siphons can be used as a form of locomotion. Water goes into the siphon and shoots out and acts as a form of jet propulsion, directing the squid in the way it wants to go.
His third law is For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. An example of this is the principle of jet propulsion or the movement of a squid using its siphon
works by the Venturi Priciple: water pushed down the syphon tube creates low presssure in the bowl thus sucking the water and contents with it. Danielle
