would it be biologically be possible to make a dragon?

probably bin here at least once or more or on another board...

say if we would have the technoligy to go on and screw with DNA and biological engeneering, would it be possible?

You could make something like a dragon. You could selectively breed lizards to be larger, then expose them to natural selection, then repeat. Perhaps artificially make genetic leaps that would take millions of years to occur by chance, like givin them 20 extra vertebrae by using snake genes or something. You then selectively breed 10000s of these lizards till they adapt to the new changes and can survive in the wild, possibly with an advantage.

They would need a food source capable of sustaining them. Larger lizards can survive in colder conditions so it would be fine for them in the African Savannah compared to their smaller counterparts who need to lay in the sun before doing anything. With a combination of genetic modification, mad selective breeding followed by artificially aided natural selection you could create a grazing lizard which grows to a large size and can exist in a natural habitat.
