In this video of two koalas fighting in their enclosure at a zoo in Sydney, Australia, some of the sounds produced are far scarier than the sight of the clawing animals.

According to whoever posted the video, koalas have a very low metabolic rate and normally rests for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time. When disturbed, koalas are known to be violent, their teeth and claws capable of causing considerable injury.

Individual stats like Facebook passing the 400 million user mark, Twitter hitting 50 million tweets per day, and YouTube viewers watching 1 billion videos per day are impressive on their own, but what if we looked at Internet-related stats collectively? Jesse Thomas did just that in his video State of the Internet.

The video — created and animated by Thomas with data from multiple sources — highlights some remarkable figures and visually depicts the Internet as we know it today. It’s a must-watch video for anyone trying to wrap their minds around just how immersed web technologies have become in our everyday lives.

“Shooting this video with Rafa was a great experience, he is very sweet and made it easy and fun,” said Shakira. “He and I have so much in common — starting out so young in our respective careers and traveling the world — I felt this would translate the spirit of the lyrics in the song and I was thrilled he wanted to be a part of it.”

Though morning may be the most painful part of one’s day, it doesn’t have to be, so we consulted Ryan’s personal trainer Jeff Deperon who gave us three tips to create a better start to your day.

LISTEN | Ryan’s Trainer Calls with 3 Tips

 
1. STRETCH - Being limber and loose as you start your day allows for greater flexibility from the car to office and beyond, and decreases your chances of getting cramps and pains as you go on your day.

2. HAVE BREAKFAST - The most important meal of the day should not be missed as it provides you with the fuel you need to jump right into the work day. Going into work hungry and lethargic is the best way of promising you’ll get less work done.

3. BE ON TIME - When you’re on time, it feels good, makes you look good to co-workers, and most importantly always bodes well with the boss. Being on time allows you to start your tasks on schedule thus increasing your likelihood to finish on time (or early!)
