How does it feel when we're in a place that is dark, cramped and stuffy, so there is little oxygen? If we are in a situation like that, maybe we will not be able to survive because we need oxygen in respiration.
But apparently, it's not something that is impossible for this creature, this animal can live without oxygen, then who could deny it? recently that scientists have discovered an animal that can live and breed without the slightest need oxygen. The animal was found in the Mediterranean seabed.
Roberto Danovaro, the head of the expedition team said that the animal was long and only a millimeter in size, it looks like jellyfish wrapped in protective. Previously, the body of multicellular animals have been found in the sediment was not oxygenated area called the "dead zone" in the black sea.
But this is believed to be remnants of the drowned animals from the area adjacent oxygenated.
Now, the species found by the expedition team in the dead zone L'Atalante is a three species that are still alive and two of them were laying. Scientists do not take these animals to prove that they can live without oxygen, but they take their eggs and then inserted into a room that is not oxygenated. The result, the eggs hatched in an environment that is not oxygenated.
Danovaro has conducted three expeditions in the waters of southern Greece for a decade to look for signs of life. Researchers using sludge samples in the basin and high salinity in the Mediterranean sea with a depth of more than 3250 meters.
Species that for a while called Spinoloricus, Rugiloricus and Pliciloricus, it has a body shape like a jellyfish and memilki protective shell.
"This is a real mystery. How do living things can live without oxygen, because until now we thought only bacteria that can do this, 'says Danovaro.
Meanwhile, Lisa Levin of Scripps Institution of Oceanography wrote in the journal BMC Biology that this discovery could open the possibility that there are other creatures, like aliens on another planet
