They don't. Kangaroos do not live in sandy deserts, although the red kangaroo can live in semi-arid desert areas.
Kangaroos 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.
Despite what many people believe, kangaroos can only go for a maximum of 5-7 days without actually drinking water. They will only survive this time if they have access to fresh grass and vegetation with sufficient moisture content.

None. Kangaroos do not live in deserts.
How are red kangaroos adapted to live in deserts?

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. Non-Australian websites propound the myth that kangaroos do not need water, but they do, just as they need fresh vegetation, which is not readily available in the desert. Kangaroos are able to live in semi-arid areas, including semi-arid deserts, as long as there is fresh vegetation and access to waterholes.
Why don't kangaroos live in the desert?
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.

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.

Why do eastern grey kangaroos live in grassy and bushy land?
It is better to address this question with why Eastern Grey kangaroos do not live in other habitats. They cannot live in deserts as there is insufficient vegetation and water for them. Red kangaroos already live in semi-arid lands (not sandy deserts either), and these areas do not have enough food to support two similar species. They cannot live in rainforest because the thick vegetation prevents the kangaroos from moving quickly. Also, the food is the wrong type. They cannot live on rocky mountainsides because their build is not like that of wallabies and wallaroos, which are stockier and more agile. That really only leaves grasslands and bushland.
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.

It is able to live in areas of the Simpson desert, which has a wide-changing geography, with some areas supporting abundant wildlife.
