These Animals Don’t Need Oxygen?!

The video explores the discovery of animals that can survive without oxygen, challenging the long-held belief that complex life requires it. In 2010, scientists found loriciferins, tiny animals thriving in the oxygen-free Latalant basin. These creatures have unique adaptations, such as hydrogenosome-like structures, allowing them to produce energy without oxygen. The discovery raises questions about the diversity of life and its origins, though some researchers remain skeptical. If confirmed, this could reshape our understanding of life's requirements and its potential existence elsewhere in the universe.
