In a pun, the purpose is to make a joke or show a funny point by using the similarity between two or more words. This occurs in the case presented because the term "shell shocked" refers to negative feelings such as fear that occur after a traumatic experience; however, in this case, the term is used because the turtle that died had a shell, and therefore by using "shell shocked" the speaker makes a joke or shows a funny point. This implies the pun of the sentence focuses on the similarity between "shell shocked" and the "shell" of the turtle, also, these are the main words used to build the pun.
