H. salminicola is the only known multicellular organism to be able to survive without oxygen (Credit: Stephen Douglas Atkinson)

Though many single-celled lifeforms have evolved to survive without oxygen, multicellular organisms have always been believed to need it to live. Now, scientists in Tel Aviv, Israel, have found that Henneguya salminicola, a parasite, which spends its life attached to the muscle tissue of fish, has adapted to living without oxygen.

      Tardigrades come after this, because they don't need much oxygen either!

                  There's no oxygen in space space right? Maybe they could be related to organisms in space? Aliens, perhaps, evolved from these creatures!
