The '''[[Order of the Desert Heart]]''', originally called the Royal Order of the Desert Heart, is the highest order among the [[Orders of Calsahara]] created by [[Grand Duke Travis|King Montague]] on 20 November 2009. It was created by the King as a way to recognize service and friendship to [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]].
The '''[[southern elephant seal]]''' is one of the two species of elephant seals. It is the largest member of the clade Pinnipedia and the order Carnivora, as well as the largest marine mammal that is not a cetacean. It gets its name from its massive size and the large proboscis of the adult male, which is used to produce very loud roars, especially during the breeding season.


As the Overlord of Calsahara, [[Grand Duke Travis]] is the current font of honor for the order, although previously, it could be awarded by either [[Prince Daniel Nicholas|King Nicholas]] or the Dictator for Life. The regalia for the order is a silver and turquoise heart suspended from a red and green ribbon. Turquoise is a common semi-precious stone found desert areas in the North American southwest and the red and green ribbon contain the colors of the original flag of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]].
The world population was estimated at 650,000 animals in the mid-1990s, and was estimated in 2005 at between 664,000 and 740,000 animals. Studies have shown the existence of three geographic subpopulations, one in each of the three oceans. Tracking studies have indicated the routes traveled by elephant seals, demonstrating their main feeding area is at the edge of the Antarctic continent. While elephant seals may come ashore in [[Antarctica]] occasionally to rest or to mate, they gather to breed in subantarctic locations.


The first recipient of the order was [[King Christopher of Vikesland]] ''(pictured)''.
