Can kangaroos balance on their tales and kick you in the face?

No. Kangaroos engage in "boxing" as a territorial behaviour, and a way to establish the dominant male in a mob, but there is little value in them punching for protection as their short forelegs are not particularly strong. They will use their tails to balance, and deliver a powerful kick with their hind legs. Kangaroos tend to rely on their speed and endurance to escape from predators.

Tree kangaroos are kangaroos - just a few of over 60 species of kangaroo. However, differences between tree kangaroos and the animal most commonly thought of as kangaroos (Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos) are:Tree kangaroos are indeed arboreal-dwelling, spending much of their time feeding and resting in trees. Red and grey kangaroos are strictly ground-dwelling, and cannot climb at all.Tree kangaroos are smaller and stockier, and certainly more agile. They have stronger front legs to assist with climbing, and longer tails to help with balance.Tree kangaroos eat leaves and fruit. Red and Grey kangaroos do not readily eat fruit in their native habitat.
