Short summary

Water is an essential commodity for life and is fundamental for metabolic processes. In free-living environments, species may use different strategies, abilities, and resources to access water. Here, we report on water consumption by Ateles chamek and Sapajus apella from the same tree source. These observations show that species use different strategies to access and consume water.
