But they are animals. The most exciting thing about these creatures, say the scientists，is that they dont need oxygen to live. What biologists know about life so far is that only singlecelled organisms(有机体)can live in places that have no oxygen，and that multicellular organisms can visit these places, but not live there. These newly found creatures could change that_idea.They live in a part of the world called LAtalante Basin.The basin is a supersalty lake that is at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and about 120 miles west of the island of Crete. It may seem strange to think of a lake under a sea, but the water in the lake is so salty that it cant mix with the seawater above it.Ordinary seawater has oxygen in itwhich allows animals like fish to livebut the supersalty waters of LAtalante Basin dont have oxygen. Finding animals down there was so surprising that the scientists couldnt believe it. At first，“we thought they were dead，”Roberto Danovaro said. Roberto worked on the recent study and is a scientist at the Polytechnic University of Marche in Italy.To find out whether the animals could actually live in the basinand to be sure the animals werent dead, Roberto and his colleagues brought up more samples from the ocean floor. They placed the samples in small containers filled with nitrogen, which kept out oxygen. Studying the animals in the containers showed that the animals appeared to be alive.The researchers did more tests, and found that some of the animals had eggs, which suggests they were reproducing. These clues suggest the animals dont need oxygen, but scientists still have not observed how the animals live without oxygen. This means more studies are needed, but the scientists think theyre on the right track.1What is the reason why there is no oxygen in LAtalante Basin?AIt is covered by seawater.BIt is too cold in the basin.CIt is too deep in the
