lizard
Cold-blooded climber
A lizard is a reptile with a long body, four legs, and a tail—geckos, iguanas, chameleons, and their kin.
Unlike snakes, most lizards have visible legs and external ear openings.
Informally, lizard describes someone cold-blooded or untrustworthy: That lizard cheated me out of my savings.
A lounge lizard is a man who frequents bars seeking women.
