Both species thrive on marginal pasture and they require one-quarter to one-half the forage a beef cow eats. Plus, they're protective mothers that calve with ease; you needn't pull calves when raising these bovines. They're parasite and disease resistant, they have wonderfully sound hooves, and they're remarkably long-lived.

a yak is from Tibet and china the water buffalo is from Africa.
The corresponding similarities for yak/water buffalo are from 84.9 to 98.6%. In the related links box below, I posted the whole analisis.

Yaks are very hairy creatures, with very long hair and a large hump over their shoulders. Water buffalo have very short hair, long horns that splay towards their back, and quite a bit larger than a yak. Water buffalo are found in the tropics, whereas yaks are found in the cold mountainous regions of Nepal and Mongolia.

They are the "same" by the fact that they belong in the same Family being Bovidae. However, more specifically, yaks and water buffalo are not the same, actually. Yak and water buffalo are two distinct species of bovids. One lives in Nepal and Mongolia, the other is found in the south and east regions of Asia, like in Taiwan and India.

Referring to the American bison (usually called a buffalo), the closest would be the muskox or yak.For the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), similar bovine animals include other species of ox.
Water buffalos don't resemble the American bison at all; they're about as alike as a sheep and a cow. Well, perhaps a little more alike, but not so you'd confuse them. Bison were called buffalo because of a perceived resemblance to the Asian water buffalo, which just goes to show people don't use their powers of observation.
