Interesting!
Yeah, I imagine a metabolic pathway where a mammal just does anoxic metabolism. But the problem is, aerob metabolism gives you by far more energy. And, they would then produce acids, which they have to get rid of. The acids may have an effect on lifespan too. Maybe neutralizing the acids could work by producing bases in parallel? Or exporting the acids in a natural manner.

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:

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