Rattlesnakes spotted in Northeast Missouri
MARK TWAIN LAKE, Mo. (WGEM) – Recently, there have been reports of rattlesnakes that have been spotted near Mark Twain Lake.
While this may seem like a surprise to some people, Northeast Missouri is home to three types of rattlesnakes, the timber, massasauga, and the pygmy rattlesnake.
As we get later into the year with cooler nights, it will become more common to see snakes basking in the sun to warm up.
But if you do see a rattlesnake out and about, it’s important to take precautions to keep yourself safe.
”Look at the ground where you’re walking, check where your feet are going to be stepping,” said Maddie Fennewald from the Missouri Department of Conservation. “Then again, if you have any questions or if you do encounter one, just kind of clear out the area and give the snake some room.”
If you do happen to get bit by a venomous snake, it is recommended to seek medical attention, and remove articles or jewelry that will constrict skin before it begins to swell, such as a watch or a ring.

Scouting Future Saints: Missouri edge rusher Zion Young
Edge rusher turned out to be a strong position for the New Orleans Saints last season. Saints edge rushers combined for 28.5 sacks in 2025, with Chase Young and Cameron Jordan accounting for 20.5 sacks and 52 pressures. Jordan is currently a free agent and will be in his 16th season if he does return. This leads most believing that the team will pursue a young edge rusher in the draft. One option could be Missouri Tigers pass rusher Zion Young if this happens. Young is one of a handful of talented edge defenders that could still be on the board midway through the second day. Here is a closer look at the profile of perhaps one of the more underrated defenders in the 2026 NFL Draft class.
Zion Young bio
- Position: Edge
- College: Missouri Tigers
- Height: 6-feet, 6 inches
- Weight: 262 pounds
Out of Westlake High School in Georgia, Young initially committed to the Michigan State Spartans in the Big Ten. He’d see limited playing time during eight games in 2022 but still managed a sack and 2.5 tackles for loss among 21 total stops. Young was much more involved for the Spartans in 2023, recording 4.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. He’d enter the transfer portal after that season, landing with the Missouri Tigers in the SEC.
A stout Missouri defense was strengthened with Young’s addition. He contributed 2.5 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss among his 42 total stops in 2024. Last season, Young solidified his attention from NFL scouts. He led the Tigers with 16.5 tackles for loss, second best in the SEC, in addition to 6.5 sacks. Those numbers earned him 1st Team All-SEC honors.
Strengths
- Prototype size and length for both 3-4 and 4-3 fronts
- Displays good power and leverage on contact
- Strength to muscle through double-teams
- Sets the edge extremely well against the run
- Keeps blockers off–balance with combination of speed and power
- Sets up inside moves with good arm extension
Weaknesses
- Inconsistent pass rush production
- Lacks refined counter moves
- Not a great bend around the outside of tackles
- Must do a better job at disengaging for pursuit
- Questionable agility for a stand-up edge rusher
Zion Young 2026 draft outlook
Most predictions have Young being selected in the second or third round. He does have the power and upside to be a surprise first round selection for the right scheme. While his agility and athleticism creates some questions, there is little doubt that he has the raw power and tenacity to be a defensive contributor.
New Orleans is expected to add an edge rusher within the first two days of the draft. With an emphasis on an improved run defense, Young could be a welcomed addition to their system as a strong side defender. Young’s upside as a pass rusher would govern how much he plays early, but he would likely be an immediate part of any defensive rotation along the outside.

Thousands showed up to Mill Creek Park on Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri, in a wave of protests across the country criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration.

“Congress is not working for us,” said Sharon, a protester at Mill Creek Park. “I have called my Congress people numerous times.”
It was the third wave of ‘No Kings’ protests across the country since June 2025.
“I’ve been here for each of the ‘No Kings,’ and I’ll admit that I’m frustrated that I have to be back here again,” protester Carter Taylor said.
Taylor is a teacher for Kansas City Public Schools with AFT Local 691, and she said she showed up to represent her students.
“I hope that everyone here doesn’t just stay here today — that they donate to food banks, that they check in on their public schools,” Taylor said.

Protesters held signs critiquing the current administration’s stances on tariffs, ongoing wars and immigration enforcement, among other things.

“It means that people care,” protester Lonnie Beattle said. “People care about what’s going on in this country, and people are not happy with what’s going on in the country.”
