'''Yinlong was one of the first Horned to have evolved from the fleet footed dinosaurs like Pisanosaurus or Hypsilophodon. It despite it's small appearance Yinlong might have been quite agile to navigate through the ancient chinese forests and to avoid any predators as much as possible, they might have also have lived in burrows which might have been underneath of trees, large boulders, caves or other places where they could hide for safety. These creatures would have fed on the vegetation that grew on the floor and and possibly would have fed on any insects it could find if the seasons became rough with little to feed on. '''

'''As it is seen on Yinlong the famous and most notable thing about the horned dinosaurs was not only their horns but, their frill as well for it's frill had just started to develop because their ancestors heads were extremely vulnerable for an attack made made by predators. Which is why they developed horns and frills because it was to protect their heads from being made as an easy target for attack, for it was the rabbit of the prehistoric times using it's hearing as a type of defense just like that of Yinglong's small developing frill on it's head.'''
