Here's why:
* Lack of webbing: Unlike many other animals adapted to water, kangaroos do not have webbing between their toes.
* Heavy body: Kangaroos have a large and muscular body, which makes it difficult for them to stay afloat for long periods.
* Short legs: Their relatively short legs are not ideal for propelling themselves efficiently through water.
However, there are some exceptions:
* Young joeys: Very young kangaroos, while still in the pouch, can likely survive in water for short periods.
* Specific situations: In rare circumstances, kangaroos might enter water to escape predators or to reach a food source. But this is not typical behavior.
So, while kangaroos might enter water occasionally, it is not a common occurrence, and they are generally not good swimmers.
