 Other horses survived, but, in better condition after the battle, were taken as spoils of battle.As historian Evan S. Connell writes in "Son of the Morning Star"
Comanche was reputed to be the only survivor of the Little Bighorn, but quite a few Seventh Cavalry mounts survived, probably more than one hundred, and there was even a yellow bulldog.Comanche lived on another fifteen years, and when he died, he was stuffed and to this day remains in a glass case at the University of Kansas.
