Kangaroos do exactly this to dogs fairly regularly.
It’s not necessarily an attempt to drown an attacker.
Roos often retreat into water as a defence. Even on land their defence is pretty much holding with their arms and kicking / disembowelling with their huge clawed feet. In the water that translates to holding something under the water.
Big male kangaroos are no joke. Just like males of any herd animal, they will do whatever they can to harm you of they’re threatened.
