This is in the thin line between telepathy and network science, and provides an interesting basis to research further. Would there be a possible link to quantum entanglement?

The article discussed several experiments conducted on bats.

Bats possess the remarkable ability to echolocate using high-frequency waves, similar to sonar. Just as humans do, bats ascertain the direction of a sound wave by comparing the time intervals at which the sound reaches each ear.

The crux of the matter is that, much like humans, bats can demonstrate exceptional sensitivity. One intriguing experiment I would consider involves determining the distance at which an isolated bat can remain from its colony while maintaining synchronized brain waves. Given that bats can echolocate, their auditory sensitivity is incredibly high. If their synchronization is based on vocalizations, and the synchronized activity of scores or even hundreds of bats amplifies the signal to which they're attuning, what is the maximum distance a bat can be from the synchronizing colony and still participate in this collective rhythm? Could it be 10 feet? Or perhaps 100 feet? Or even 1000 feet? This would be fascinating to explore.

I think we're taking the fact that the article says "similar" a lot and running too far with it. As they say, it only makes sense that similar areas of the brain would activate when processing similar stimuli. That's not telepathy or entanglement.
Spooky action at a distance cannot transmit information.
Since I am an ignorant on quantum, please would you mind providing a reference?
There is this: https://physics.stackexchange.com/a/602518, or do you want a paper? I don't have a paper link, I am not that deep into it.
I can dig from here, thanks a lot!

No.
