Just 7? There are many:

Ved Vyasa, Ashwatthama, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Kripacharya, Parashurama, Jambhavan, Markandeya, Devapi, Maru, Bhusunda and Saptarishis.

Some interesting chiranjivi's that i'll pick from the above list.

Ved Vyasa: Incarnation of Vishnu (rebirth of Rishi Apantaratamas) as he was sound born (bho) and was also called Rishi Saraswat.

Jambhavan: He circled Vishnu's Vamana Avataar 7 times and while circling for the seventh time his feet brushed against Vamana's shoulder resulting in an injury to his feet. This was the reason he couldn't fly to Lanka and Hanuman had to do it instead.

Ashwatthama: Was cursed by Lord Krishna to become a vagabond and would carry the burden of all people on his shoulders for 3000 years. He would become a leper with diseases and sores.

Bahruvahana is the son of Arjun and Chitrangada.

He did not participate in the war of Kurukshetra. However it is said he killed Arjun post Kurukshetra war when they did an Ashamedh Yagya. He bought Arjun back to life again using a gem.

There are actually TWO Bakasurs within Krishna related stories.

The first Bakasur came in the form of a large crane. He was sent by Kans to kill Krishna. Krishna killed the demon. Bakasur was the brother of Putana and Aghasur (who was next to be killed by Krishna).

The second Bakasur was a demon who terrorised Ekachakra nagari. He used to eat humans whenever he was hungry creating great havoc on the village. The elders and Bakasur came to an agreement. Once a week they will send them a human, a cartload of food and the bullocks to eat. If his conditions were met he will let them live in peace.

Bakasur was killed by Bheem when the Brahmin family they were living with were selected to take food.

Snakes are carnivores (meat eaters).

Snakes don't have eyelids.

Snakes can't bite food so have to swallow it whole.

Snakes have flexible jaws which allow them to eat prey bigger than their head!

Snakes are found on every continent of the world except Antarctica

next word- hippo

A Hippo can often kill a crocodile if a crocodile attacks it.

A female Hippo matures at 4-6 years. Male at 7.5 years (Seems like males take longer to mature in hippos as well as humans) haha

Hippos do not form social bonds with each other (except mother and daughters) However they do huddle together with other hippos.

Some male spiders pluck their cobwebs like a guitar, to attract female spiders.

Fried spiders taste like nuts.

The skeleton of a spider is located on the outside of the body.

Spiders usually have eight eyes, but still they cannot see that well.

There are about 43,000 species of spiders

Of the 43,000 species of spiders, only 27 species are known to have caused human fatalities
