I noticed that dolphins hold items before throwing them, but they seem to be upside-down. I'm not sure when this issue started, but it seems to have gone unnoticed. I was able to get a screen shot of it.
Steps to reproduce
summon a bunch of dolphins in water and toss around items where the item can easily be distinguished
Do a tick freeze
Do tick step 20 until a dolphin gets close
Do tick step until you see the item in front of the dolphin
Observed behavior
The item is upside down
Expected behavior
The item is right-side up

I changed the report to be only about the item being upside down. The item does not appear far away in the first frame to me. Since the item is thrown, it will move over time.
The reported behavior has been present ever since dolphins were added in Minecraft 18w15a. Note that the held item appearing in front of the dolphin’s head is considered a bug in itself, tracked in MC-272046.
