None really since proper telepathy, defined as “extrasensory communication” doesn’t exist. There has to be some physical way to send and recieve information and being able to pick up a physical signal is what a sense is. So if you communicate, it’s always sensory.
What's the closest any animal species has come to evolving to have telepathy?

If a species used radio communication, I don’t think I’d be against people calling it telepathy.

But it would be rather inconsistent. It’s just another part of the electromagnetic spectrum and we wouldn’t call visual communication telepathy.

Pigeons have an organ in the brain that allows them to sense the earth’s magnetic field.

Cat and dog. Telepathy is a skill that allow a user to communicate without speaking or body language, my cat doesn’t even need meowing and i just know she want food. Some naysayer will claim it’s because she sit in front of her food bowl but those are just unfounded claim.

Humans can be pretty good at exchanging information with only the most subtle body movements.

My cat knows when it’s time to go to bed. She also has a form of mind control to help her get snacks.

My cat’s are telepathic with each other. If they want something they both stare at me until they get what they want, and somehow I know what they want when they stare at me.
