Kenya will export 20 Cheetahs to India by the end of this year, according to new reporting from the Asian state.

The deal, which has been in talks for a better part of last year, is set to be sealed this year with Kenya sending the animals to India.

According to reports from India, the cheetahs are scheduled to arrive in India between February 25 and September 25.

The deal was on and off for a while, with reports in May last year indicating the deal was nowhere near an agreement.
