Resumen

Aunque predominantemente arborícolas, a veces se han observado a monos araña de varias especies descender directamente al suelo. Se han reportado individuos de Ateles chamek bajarse para acceder a algún tipo de recursos alimenticios (madera podrida o lamederos de sal). Reportamos y describimos el comportamiento terrestre de una hembra adulta Ateles chamek (mono araña peruano) en una orilla arenosa del río Pinquén, Manu, Perú. Este comportamiento duró varios minutos, con secuencias de caminar sobre cuatro patas, hacer pausas y ponerse de pie sobre las patas traseras (postura similar a la humana). La probabilidad de que fue mascota es muy baja debido a la lejanía de los centros poblados. La razon de buscar agua para tomar directo del rio no se descarta pero creemos que debido al nivel bajo del agua, distancia corta entre extremos del rio se cree que esta hembra adulta solitaria (sexo migrante en la especie) tuvo intenciones de cruzar el rio, pero que nuestra presencia al final influyo en su decisión de no cruzar.
