A small lizard on all fours with a long tail, viewed from above. Usually shown in green, though some platforms portray it as a gecko. Occasionally used to represent insects.
2
A full-length depiction of a green lizard. Its long tail, which can be shed if the animal feels threatened, is clearly visible. The reptile is shown in various green tones, with its head turned to the left.
It’s a small reptile that isn’t dangerous to people — at most it might give a sharp nip, which is why many enjoy catching lizards in the summer grass. They live in burrows and love basking in the sun. The lizard emoji can also represent similar reptiles, such as a gecko.
