    It is possible, but you definitely wouldn't be able to do it yourself if you were hoping to become spider-man or something. Basically you'd need to isolate the specific gene from an animal you wanted, then cut a piece from a vector (like a harmless virus) then attach the animal gene into the vector, and insert it into one of your fast growing cells. Hopefully then your cells would take up the DNA with the animal gene attached, replicate it and eventually it might become part of your own DNA. Its more complicated than that but as far as I know that's the basic way scientists do it, although they usually do it from the embryo stage, when the organism is only a few cells, so doing it with you might be more tricky, good luck lol.

      Well, it wont be possible for you to get an Animal DNA even through poison or venom. I suspect science is not yet that advanced to be thinking on those lines. However, it might be possible in the near future with the help of a surgery etc.
