Are these in the same exhibit? It definitely looks like they are, but there could be a hidden barrier between them, hard to be sure.

It's the same exhibit. It is several dozen acres in size and also has giraffes, white rhinos, and several other antelope species in it.
 
How do the buffalo get along with the other animals?

I'm sure that there are interactions between the buffalo and other species, but these exhibits are large enough that most of the species stick to their own herds most of the time.

Buffalo have been mixed in with these other species for several decades now. The park opened in 1972.

There were Grevy's zebras in one of these exhibits that were moved out to their own exhibit many years ago because they were too aggressive towards other species apparently.
