Tube worm

[SamAdams76]

What this means is that life forms can develop in environments that are unsuitable for humans and other mammals such as dogs (i.e. German Shepards, Dalmations).

[Zuben Elgenubi]

"The tulip-like worms, however, proved even more astounding. These animals, Riftia pachyptila, have no mouth or gut. No way to eat food, including bacteria, from their surroundings. Instead their red plume rimmed with blood vessels reaches into the vent waters. Oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide bind to carrier molecules in the blood."

And I thought the headline was talking about the Domocrats.

Please enlighten me. What did these tube worms evolve from?
