Where does 🦎 Lizard emoji come from?

EmojiTerra

This representation of the squamate branch of reptiles (meaning, scaled reptiles, such as snakes and lizards) is green, but these creatures actually come in a rainbow of colors.

The lizard emoji is green though … and it’s also a quadrupedal lizard (meaning it has four legs) because a “legless lizard” (that’s a thing) would be confusing, and look a lot like a snake. A legless lizard is not a snake. It’s a legless lizard, with eyelids, openings for ears, and notched rather than forked tongues. Now you know a lot about lizards …

The lizard emoji was approved as part of Unicode 9.0 in 2016 and added to Emoji 3.0 in 2016.
