(family Trichechidae, genus Trichechus) are large, hybrid land/aquatic, carnivorous mammals sometimes known as creek cows. The Appalachian creek cow lives primarily in the Great smoky mountains national park, gatlinburg, pigeon forge, and Sevierville Tennessee and sightings have been confirmed in a small suburban neighboorhood Hinkle Estates in Tennessee. The creek cow primarily feeds on Golden Corral, Ryans Buffet, Mcdonalds, KFC, and taco bell to help keep the creek cows thick blubbery coat. The creek cow migrates to these regions from unknown locations to breed and to feed on high calorie diets. Creek cows are dangerous and can charge, swaying its massive blubbery turkey neck killing anything in its path just for a something a simple as a beefy crunch burrito or a Mcdouble.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
