- Abstract: Courtship in capuchin monkeys is initiated by the female, who follows the male performing proceptive behaviours indicative of her oestrus. These behaviours include, among others, touching-and-running, when the female touches or pulls some part of the male's body and runs away quickly. Males sometimes respond aggressively to this behaviour. We report here a previously unknown variation on this pattern: the aimed stone-throwing during courtship by females of a wild group of capuchin monkeys (Cebus libidinosus) at Serra da Capivara National Park, Brazil. The group consists of 47 individuals, nine adult males and 13 adult females. During 349 hours of contact time with the group we recorded eight distinct females in oestrus, and two of these were observed throwing stones at males during courtship. All throws were aimed at, and hit, the specific male they were following. Throwing stones at males could be a safer way for females to get their attention during courtship, decreasing the chance of being caught by an aggressive reaction. Previous reports of throwing behaviour in capuchin monkeys are from captive individuals, but there is no record, to our knowledge, of this behavior in any other wild population. Aimed stone-throwing as a courtship behaviour by females therefore constitutes a potential social tradition in this population of capuchin monkeys
