Anatomically Correct Xenomorph

+0
−0

Xenomorphs are one of the most dangerous, deadly aliens in movie history. They breed in massive numbers, live in an ant-like society, and have blood that doubles as concentrated acid.

Most of those aren't a problem to figure out as we have many creatures on Earth with those. The biggest difficulty with designing this creature lies in its blood. As far as I know no creature, anywhere on earth, ever has had acid blood.

What would the evolutionary history be for a creature with acidic blood?
