They balance on them then kick you generally

I've grown up around kangaroos and wallabies. They often use the tails as a third leg when lazily walking around like to eat etc too. Not just for attacking.

Yeah but when they're flexed up in the chest like that and just standing on that tail, not moving around on it, straight up posturing, it wants you to back tf up STAT and you better pay attention to the body language
