They collected large numbers of stones in the hollows of trees. Next, the males usually took a stone, walked a distance, grunted, and threw the stone into the trees, leaving a sign there.

A team of 80 international scientists did the research in question.
No monkey has ever been seen engaging in behavior that was not linked to their survival. /Periscope
