This experiment is currently being conducted all over the planet -
mammals that live at sea level get much more oxygen than those that
live in, say, the Himalayas. I only know of one mortality study where
altitude came up as a factor:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/01/110113131436.htm but I'd
be interested in learning more.

Also, if you literally meant without *any* oxygen, then that really
would be a challenge.
