Now, this Chinese word means "tiger (lao3 hu3)". It doesn't mean an "old" tiger even though lao3 = old and hu3 = tiger.
Note that this word is pronounced as lao2 hu3, not lao3 hu3 since there are two words with the 3rd tone. So the first word will be pronounced as the 2nd tone. That is, from lao3 to lao2. Other example, such as 你好 (meaning "hello", ni3 hao3) pronounced as ni2 hao3.
