Bacillus anthracis is typically found in soil, especially in regions where there have been previous cases or outbreaks of anthrax. It can form endospores, allowing it to survive in soil for long periods of time. Although it can infect both humans and animals, it is primarily a disease of herbivorous animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats.
