Robert Scott and his polar exploration team were forced to euthanize their sled dogs due to a shortage of supplies during their 1911-1912 expedition to the South Pole. The dogs were crucial for transportation in the harsh Antarctic conditions, and sacrificing them was deemed necessary for the survival of the human team members.
Captain Scott left his dogs at the base station, and did not employ them in his trek to the South Pole.
The famous British explorer who conquered Antarctica was Sir Ernest Shackleton. Shackleton led the Endurance expedition between 1914-1917, which is known for its incredible survival story after their ship was crushed by ice.
According to the best available source, Captain Robert Scott had one younger brother, named Archie. He apparently had two older sisters and one younger sister.
Robert Scott is not a notable figure in the field of biology. It is possible you may be referring to Robert Falcon Scott, the British explorer who led expeditions to Antarctica. Scott's primary contributions are in the field of exploration and geography, rather than biology.
