Amur Leopard, Apache Helicopter
This is ELE, an Amur Leopard living where Russia ends, and China begins. A temperate forest of a border region, too economically marginal for either to bother caring.
Overhunting takes her food. Agriculture takes her territory. Poaching takes her coat and bones. Only 100 left.
The Apache helicopter was designed for contested territory between hostile powers. It sees in the dark, moves fast, and is impossible to ignore. Humans found $50 billion to create the most lethal predator ever built. ELE found it easy to fly.
She didn't choose extinction. She chose to be the last one.
