For another diamond 2 star, take zeraora's picture while it is landing from its wake-up but still in the air. Caption: Noteworthy behavior?

For an alternate 2-star, wait till the end section of the Badlands (Day Lvl.3) after waking him up in the first section, feed Zeraora the fluffruit, and take a picture of his post-meal reaction.
