What is North America?
How I got this one wrong:
Because I'm an idiot
I thought, well, Central America definitely has several. And then if you add Colombia and Chile, that might be enough, so... What is South America? Boom. Final answer.
Is this true? I only count 8. Which am I missing?
I get 9:
US -- Atl, Pac, Arc
Canada -- Atl, Pac, Arc
Mexico -- Atl, Pac
Greenland (Denmark) -- Atl, Arc
Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua -- Atl, Pac

I think the US got counted twice because Alaska and the lower 48 are listed separately
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

The clue doesn't say "official" mascot though - it says "chief" mascot.

If you do a bit of research you will see why it’s not a viable answer.

In this context the definition of chief is listed as “most important, principal.

Then use this http://sportmascots.com/mlb/swinging-fr ... go-padres/

Furthermore, the chicken has never been the official mascot of anything. 40 years ago when he was performing at most Padres games, you might have an argument. But it’s a rarity that he appears at a Padres game nowadays. A mascot that barely appears can’t be considered a chief mascot.

Is there another mascot that has supplanted it as the chief mascot, though? If it appears at 3 games per year and there aren't any other mascots, guess which one is the chief mascot?
