Despite what many non-Australian websites say, kangaroos do need water regularly, and there is insufficient water for them in the desert. Also, kangaroos are grazing animals, and the vegetation in the desert is not suitable for them. They need fresh grass and young shoots.

What deserts do kangaroos live in?

Nowhere. There is no such thing as a desert kangaroo. Despite what many non-Australian websites say, kangaroos do not live in the sandy, arid desert. They need water regularly, and there is insufficient water for them in the desert. Also, kangaroos are grazing animals, and the vegetation in the desert is not suitable for them. The Red kangaroo is a species which is able to live in semi-arid areas, as long as there are semi-permanent waterholes and adequate vegetation. It is able to live in areas of the Simpson desert, which has a wide-changing geography, with some areas supporting abundant wildlife.

Oh, dude, a desert kangaroo is a herbivore like your cousin who only eats salad at Thanksgiving. They hop around munching on plants and leaves like they're at a vegan buffet. So yeah, if you ever see a kangaroo in the desert, just know it's out there living its best herbivore life.


What desert do most kangaroos live in?

Most kangaroos do not live in the desert. It also depends on what is classed as a desert. Kangaroos do not live in sandy deserts. They need to be where there is adequate vegetation to supply their food. They are more likely to be found in grasslands and bushland, where the trees are not too close to each other. They also inhabit coastal areas, often swimming out to offshore islands (seriously). There are some species which live in Australia's semi-arid shrublands of the interior, which could be classed as desert. They are not, however, sandy deserts, where there is no vegetation. These deserts contain plenty of low-growing shrubs and grasses which can sustain kangaroos, but there must also be a source of water nearby. Kangaroos need to drink regularly, despite what some websites say.
