The fabled carnivorous animal that isn't quite a bear yet isn't quite a skunk; only other mammal with posable thumbs, known to prowl grasslands near farms and inner city alleys.

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.
