Seems that the Tiger genome has been sequenced and compared to several other cats including snow leopard, lion, and house cat.
Of interest, we see that:
"The tiger genome sequence shows 95.6% similarity to the domestic cat...from which it diverged approximately 10.8 million years ago (MYA)..."
Male domestic cats average ~9 pounds , male tigers average ~400 pounds.
How can a 4.4% nucleotide difference explain a 44x difference in size in only 10.8 million years????
Or, in creationist parlance, How can a 4.4% nucleotide difference explain a 44x difference in size in only 4,500 years?
