Kangaroos do not provide water. Female kangaroos provide milk to their young through their mammary glands, which are located within their pouch.

If the question means "how do kangaroos find water", kangaroos must obtain their water from rivers, creeks, billabongs or any other permanent water supply, and in the dew on the grass at the side of roads. Despite what non-Australian websites say, kangaroos need to drink water regularly.

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.

There are some small, burrowing species of marsupials which do not need to drink water, but the larger members of the kangaroo family need access to fresh water. This include species such as the Red kangaroos, Grey Kangaroos, Wallaroos, Wallabies, Potoroos, Rat-Kangaroos, Bettongs and so on.The marsupials commonly known as kangaroos do not inhabit the desert, although they may be found in semi-arid areas as well as coastal areas. They get their water in the same way as other native species in Australia do. They may drink from waterholes, billabongs, creeks or rivers, or drink the dew from grass in the early morning.

What are facts about kangaroos in the desert?

The first and only fact is that there are no kangaroos in sandy deserts. Kangaroos need regular water to drink.

Kangaroos are able to live in semi-arid areas, including semi-arid deserts, as long as there is fresh vegetation and access to waterholes.
