Amitayu is limitless,divyaayu is 1000 years,muni ayus is beyond a yuga , yugantayu is upto one yuga. Parsurama existed before Srirama and he taught astras to Bheeshma , Drona,and Karna late till 5000 years ago. Similarly Sage gautama existed in ,treta ,Dwapara as well in kaliyuga. Sage vashistha was Kulguru for Harishchandra and Srirama as well there are many kings in between . So was Sage vishwamitra.
Longevity can change only from one set to another ie. from short to medium ,or medium to long. One loses longevity if he illtreats parents, teachers, and vishnu bahkta, Longevity lost thus cannot be recovered by any means. Sometimes elders can donate their longevity through Yoga.every form of life in universe except Bhagvaan Vishnu has a longevity.

respected sir,
i fully believe what you have seen in your home and i have no doubt about it. the point which i would like to humbly bring out is that if snakes and vultures really have such a long lifespan then why doesnt science ( mordern science) acknowledge it as it has done for tortoise ?
morever i would like to ask if there is a way or sadhana by which one can attain amitayu or divyaayu or muni ayus or yugantayu ? if so what is the method?
