And why is drowning a defense mechanism for them ?

Yes, kangaroos do box. Or rather, their form of fighting looks like boxing to us, so that’s what we call it. It’s mostly amongst the male kangaroos, and sometimes it’s for the attention of a female that’s in heat. Other times, it’s purely a social/dominating exercise.
As for why they drown, I’m not sure there’s a good explanation for any animal’s defense mechanisms. Kangaroos are strong swimmers and at some point realized they can drown predators. It’s effective, so they continue to do it.
