Crocodile

A green crocodile or alligator shown in profile with a long snout, sharp teeth, and scaly body.

The 🐊 crocodile emoji primarily represents the large reptile and is used in discussions about nature, zoos, or specific regions like Florida or the Everglades. It can also be a symbol of danger, aggression, or a hidden threat, much like a crocodile lying in wait. In a more metaphorical sense, the emoji is used to describe someone who is fiercely protective or a person who is "all bark and no bite." A common use is in the phrase "crocodile tears" to denote insincere sorrow or fake emotions. On a lighter note, it can represent something that has a lot of bite or a fashion brand known for its crocodile logo.
