Is a buffalo good for a pet?

Not unless you are extremely good at handling large unpredictable animals. I have dealt with buffalo (bison is the proper scientific name) and while at times they are in fact very gentle they also are prone to aggressive behavior. They are much like toddlers in a 800 lb to 2000+ lb body and as such even the slightest tantrum can cause significant damage to person and property. Having said that, I'd have to conclude that no a buffalo is not good for a pet, but never the less there are those who have ventured to do it and trained their "pets" even to the point of one I know of being house broken.

Will Musk Ox and Bison breed together?

The answer to that is most likely yes, over 95% of all species of animal originated from tropical rain forests. They migrated north and south and adapted to the various biome climates. Elephants adapted long fur during the Ice Age and took on the identity of woolly mammoths.

You can compare the hair on the bodies of humans from the tropical regions to those of let's say Denmark or Sweden, you'll find that even people up in the colder regions have adapted more body hair.

Another adaptive trait for animals that travel to the extreme north from the rain forest, is that they become more black-and-white and color. Where in the rain forest, they are very colorful.
