Not very long - a matter of days only. 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 kangaroos that 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. 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.

Kangaroos cannot go for longer than a couple of days without water. Many overseas-based websites incorrectly report that the kangaroo hardly needs to drink. This is not the case.

Kangaroos are quite unrelated to the kangaroo-rat of North America, which obtains its moisture requirements from the food it eats.
