Please look at this dolphin.

Is this dolphin's mouth closed or open?

I say it's closed, it's just a shitty perspective'd dolphin. But, my friends think otherwise.

there is a thin ridge of light blue underneath the black line at the bottom of the upper "lip", which does make it look closed, however i suspect it might have been drawn on afterwards to make it look clearer, possibly by someone who also thought it was closed? but IMO the concave lighting and the fact that what maddie thinks is the "chin" has a pretty well defined jawline outweigh that

sorry you're wrong @nine-moonbeams , there being a slight shade of pink means NOTHING, it's reflectivity, and a double chin

If its mouth were open, the colour would be different.

Dolphin mouths don't get more pink at the front, they're whiter around the teeth and get more pink in and toward the back of the mouth. Dolphins also have teeth and a tongue. I don't see either here (even if this is art or AI or whatever).

Finally, the highlight on the mouth bump, below the black line that is supposed to be its closed mouth, is a bright highlight circle that fades outward - this lighting shape suggests the surface is convex to us. There wouldn't be a highlight there if it were concave/inward/open.
