I have a set of data which looks something like this:

```
anim <- c(25499,25500,25501,25502,25503,25504)
sex  <- c(1,2,2,1,2,1)
wt   <- c(0.8,1.2,1.0,2.0,1.8,1.4)
data <- data.frame(anim,sex,wt)

data
   anim sex  wt anim2
1 25499   1 0.8     2
2 25500   2 1.2     2
3 25501   2 1.0     2
4 25502   1 2.0     2
5 25503   2 1.8     2
6 25504   1 1.4     2

```

I would like a zero to be added before each animal id:

```
data
   anim sex  wt anim2
1 025499   1 0.8     2
2 025500   2 1.2     2
3 025501   2 1.0     2
4 025502   1 2.0     2
5 025503   2 1.8     2
6 025504   1 1.4     2

```

And for interest sake, what if I need to add two or three zeros before the animal id's?
