Here is the corrected version of your paragraph:

Original: The lion doesn’t live in the forest. But there you can find a fierce wolf, a thrifty squirrel and a honey-loving bear. Bears like other sweet foods, like berries and fruit, too.

Corrected: The lion doesn’t live in the forest, but you can find a fierce wolf, a thrifty squirrel, and a honey-loving bear there. Bears also like other sweet foods, such as berries and fruit.

Explanation:

  • Combined the first two sentences using a comma and 'but' to avoid fragment sentences.
  • Added a comma after 'squirrel' in the list for proper serial comma usage.
  • Moved 'there' to the end of the sentence for clearer meaning.
  • Rephrased the last sentence to 'Bears also like other sweet foods, such as berries and fruit' for smoother flow.

This version is grammatically correct and clear for young learners.
