They will then be combining this DNA with Human DNA to create the ultimate killing and hibernating machine for Science...

"All over the world, everyone scientifically involved in the study of ancient DNA recognized the need to reconstruct genomes from fragments found in soil or sediment. Being able to do that for the first time means we have opened up a new frontier," Willerslev said.

"Analysis of DNA found in soil could have the potential to expand the narrative about everything from the evolution of species to developments in climate change – this is the Moon landing of genomics because fossils will no longer be needed."

Or maybe they'll just use the DNA harvested from these pee and poo samples and combine it with known DNA from existing bears and those of other extinct species and be able to create some sort of Super Bear without the need of fossilized remains.
