Z-Gen Quizzing Edition 7

After seeing a lukewarm response last time this time i have reduced the level of the questions a bit and going by my new found habit of sticking to unusual number this time it is the UNLUCKY number 13 and covering almost all walks of life especially FICTION including some easy ones too.

so here are the questions:-

1. Where do you come across the name "LEE JORDAN"?

2. Complete the series 

    aragog, fang, fluffy, norbert,...........

3. To which period can you date back this map of India?

4. Whats special about this pic?

5. Identify this person with his more popular name as his real name is dhanpat rai.

6. Why is the balled headed eagle called so when it has hair on his head?

7. Identify the bird. It can store upto 12 litres of water in his beak inspite of being too heavy can fly and float on the watereasily. Hunts for his food by seiving of his prey from the water  through his beak

8. Which country has won the only gold medal in Olympics in cricket?

9. What is the maximum number of hurdles that can be knocked down by an athelete in a race  without being disqualified?

10. Which crime if done is not punishable whereas if attempted then is severly punishable?

11. what other event or events than karan donating his "kavach" led to his death in the mahaharta?(some important one)

12. A's son B had a fight with C(another famous person) which gave B some peculiar mark or belonging or a trademark for lifetime and another son of A- D had a fight with some other famous person in a battle E which can be easily accredated as greatest battle of all times  in which C was D's opponents side but not in actuall fighting terms but still every moment with him at the battlefield in some passive way. Identify A,B,C,D and E.( hint- need not ne history or mythology, but this world of quizzing can be so disguising that we may never know it)

13. Who was supposed to be the Captain of Indian Test cricket team in place of C K Naydu? the orignal choice but he turned it down due to his prior commitments.
