The fear of ducks looking at you is known as "anatidaephobia," a term coined humorously in the comic strip "The Far Side" by Gary Larson. While not an officially recognized phobia, it reflects a broader anxiety or discomfort with being watched by animals, particularly those perceived as quirky or amusing like ducks. This fear can stem from a combination of irrational beliefs, past experiences, or simply the oddity of the situation.
