O Oxygen Animal Dissociation Curve Shifted Left Low

Front Why would an animal have an O2 dissociation curve shifted to the left?
Back - low O2 environment
- higher affinity for oxygen
- to obtain more oxygen for more aerobic respiration
- for use as terminal electron acceptor in oxidative phosphorylation
- to produce ATP
