Ravager bite attack has significantly distinct timing to Java Edition, making it trivial to dodge

When a ravager bites, it slows to a stop, launches its head forward and shuts its jaw. Roughly when it closes its jaw is when the damage is actually given to its target. This differs greatly from java edition, in which the attack damages the target immediately after beginning its attack animation. Due to this bug, simply walking away from an attacking ravager will nearly always guarantee safety, since the stopping at the start of the attack gives ample time to escape the attack range of the ravager before it actually bites and delivers damage. I also believe this is a separate issue from MCPE-60680, since that concerns their reach rather than the timing at which damage is given

Steps to reproduce:
1. Find a ravager in survival mode by any means
2. Allow it to chase you until it gets close enough to bite, at which point continue walking away from it

Expected result: The ravager should deal damage to you immediately after it bites

Actual result: The bite is way too easy to avoid because of the damage timing not matching java, and will not hit the player consistently in this scenario

Doesn't it make sense that the damage is given as the bite closes? It sounds like the bug is in Java.

About it being easy to dodge, that seems just as much a result of MCPE-60680 and MCPE-48145, as what is described here. Due to 60680 (really MCPE-45531) the attack reach does not match the animation, so you have to be inside of its head to take damage.
