This sounds weird but its true. Scientists had discovered a microscopic parasite named "Henneguya" , a jelly-like organism found in the muscle of Salmon fish . Instead of relying on Oxygen , it relies only on anaerobic process to produce energy and survive. It is the only animal known for no to survive without Oxygen.

Ah well not quite the only one.
There are Sharks in the sea on Titan, a moon of Saturn that needs no Oxygen to live.
I saw them in a film on Prime

A moon called Titan
Orbits Saturn
It has seas made up with liquid ammonia like stuff which has no oxygen in it at all.
Sharks the size of 200 ft boats live and thrive in these seas as do other spectacular creatures
I saw it on a film on Prime
Excellent

That's true, hopefully humans will derive some benefits from the organism.
