Have you ever wondered why there’s often a mirror in elevators? Let’s explore the key reasons for this feature.

There are many reasons for having mirrors in elevators that are likely to intrigue readers, ranging from safety to human psychology.

One reason is our discomfort with confined spaces. We are naturally drawn to areas that feel more spacious because they provide us with more oxygen to breathe.

The addition of mirrors in elevators creates a sense of openness, making it easier for us to breathe. The reflection in the mirror makes the elevator appear wider and more expansive, giving our minds a sense of more space and security.

Moreover, mirrors in elevators also enhance our sense of safety. They help deter theft or sudden attacks by providing clear reflections of every movement, which discourages criminals.

Similarly, mirrors allow us to see what others are doing, ensuring that no one can surprise us with an attack.

The world's largest crocodile in captivity has died at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia.

Cassius was nearly 5.5m (18ft) long, weighed nearly one tonne and was thought to be at least 110 years old - although no one knew for sure.

The huge saltwater crocodile lived in the sanctuary on an island off the coast of Queensland since being caught in Australia's Northern Territory in the 1980s.

In 2011, he was awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest crocodile in captivity.

Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat said in a post on social media that Cassius was "our beloved mate" and "a cherished member of our family".

Cassius had previously lived in the wild, where he was known for catching and eating cattle, and attacking boat propellers before being captured.

The habitat's founder, George Craig, bought Cassius in 1987, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.

Cassius "brought joy and companionship to his best mate George for over 37 years", the habitat said.

The habitat added that Mr Craig relocated to Cairns last month and Cassius's health declined soon after.

"He was very old and believed to be living beyond the years of a wild croc," the post said.

The habitat also thanked "everyone who visited Cassius throughout his life and offered kindness", adding that the site may be operating "in a limited capacity over the next few days".
