Oxygen free animals? WTF?
First oxygen-free animals found

He told BBC World Service they were about a millimetre in size and looked like jellyfish in a protective shell.
“It is a real mystery how these creatures are able to live without oxygen because until now we thought only bacteria could do this,” said Professor Danovaro, who heads Italy’s Association of Limnology (the study of inland waters). </em>
