No. They were first considered to be oxens, hence the "ox" in their name.

However they were later found to actually be Bovidae - which is the same family as sheep and goats.

A young one, but not an adult one since the muskox has such thick fur to protect itself from blizzards, wolves, and polar bears. The muskox has a weight advantage of 880 pounds, whereareas the siberian tiger has a weight of 600 to 650 pounds. The muskox's weight would make it very hard for the siberian tiger to bring it down. Also, if the siberian tiger gets near the muskox, the muskox could kill it with a gore of a horn or a headbutt.
