Best Answer

Oxen are bovines used as for draft work, and often come of the Bos primigenius species.

Buffalo, on the other hand, pertain to the wild distant cousins of domestic cattle that live without any need of human contact or interference. They refer to African Buffalo, Asian Water Buffalo and American Bison.
