I'm told that Kangaroos will take to water if they feel threatened. I'm assuming he just went out there until the photographer went away.

My wallabies like to sit in their pool. They don't have water deep enough to swim in, so I've never seen it, but them and the wallaroos love being sprayed with the hose in warm weather. Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure that fellow's technically a wallaroo, not a kangaroo. I can't make out his nose well enough to be sure, but short of a definitive ID of the nosepad, I'm as sure as I can be he's a wallaroo. And I agree his destination is "away from the photographer" rather generically.
