A brown beaver with big front teeth and a flat tail.

Engineers and DIY fans sometimes adopt it for construction projects. It was added to the keyboard in 2020.
🦫 Beaver is an emoji from the Animals & Nature category (mammals), added in Emoji 13.0 in 2020. People use it in messages about animal, dam and teeth.
