"Björnen är ett djur."

Translation: The bear is an animal.

[Miguel34646]

How is djur pronounced please help me.

[Skorpion518754]

Like you, but more to an "u"

[Cas129151]

The d is kinda silent, so it would be (yer)

[ThebestIcando]

Like "your" but with a little "h" sound like, "yhi-oar"

[Vincent395751]

I thought it was "Bears are an animal" but I guess that would use the plural for bear.

[griessauer]

Correct solutions: "The bear is one animal"
In theory correct but I dont think it would be used that way in english.

dj=j?

[KimWidman]

dj is sometimes pronounced the same way as j, as in this case. Another example is djup (deep).

Pronunciation will be different in some cases, for example in kedja (chain) , midja (waist), where d and j are pronounced separately.

I believe it has something to do with which vowel follows upon the dj, but I am just a simple native Swedish speaker, not a grammar expert, so unfortunately I cannot tell you any rules about this.
