Yes. Red kangaroos can only go for a few days without water.
Many websites unfamiliar with Australian fauna state that kangaroos can go for a long time without drinking, but this simply is not true. Consider that Red kangaroos, which live in more arid areas do not burrow like many other animals do; because they are exposed to the heat of the day, they experience thirst, and they must have access to water in some form. Red kangaroos only live in areas where there is permanent or semi-permanent water, even on the arid plains, and when these sources dry up, they move on to areas where there is water.

What do tree kangaroos drink?
Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation, feeding in the early morning and late afternoon/evening towards sunset. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals. Kangaroos are grazing animals, and they will regurgitate their food to chew like cattle chew their cud. Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit. Smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles.
