A species is called the "living dead" when it has dropped to few enough individuals such that there is not enough genetic diversity to build up the population again.
For example if there was 1 organism of a species left on earth it would be called the living dead because there is no way for its species to reproduce and live on with a full, genetically diverse, healthy population.
A species isn't called the living dead only if it reaches 1 individual, it could be 40, 25, etc. individuals.
