Do hippopotamus survive well around jackfruit trees?

When I visited Trivandrum Zoo in Trivandrum in Kerala, India, I looked into the enclosures where the animals were kept.
Some animals like hippopotamus were kept in open land and there were big boundaries around. But I found there were lot of jackfruit trees around the hippos.
There were water bodies around because hippopotamus like water. They were not confined in a serious way and allowed to venture within a large enclosure.

Thanks Genipher, the hippos had a wall which is of height. But their area was very large, so they were not in a cage or close enclosure. Hippos can kill people so it is not safe to allow the hipo to meet me face to face.

What other animals did you see?
Last time we went to the zoo was, oh, 2 years ago. The elephant enclosure was shut down because they were remodeling it. I had really been looking forwards to seeing them, but we missed out.

@Genipher Thanks Genipher there were deers, crocodiles, and many types of birds in the Trivandrum Zoo. I love the animals.

@polyxena Thanks Jen, the area where the hippos, graze and eat food is also huge. So they can roam around.

Thanks Jen, the hippos are well fed in the Trivandrum zoo. so if they have nice environment they feel they are at home.

May be, no doubt the zoo authorities have planted jackfruit trees everywhere
