哪 vs. 哪里 What´s the difference between the questions 哪 and 哪里?

3 questions about 猴子的尾巴 :) There is a poem in my daughter's Chinese poem book which has the following lines: 1) 谁的尾巴长？猴子尾巴长。 2) 谁的尾巴短？兔子尾巴短。 3) 猴子的尾巴长有长。 4) 兔子的尾巴短有短。 So, I have several qestions: 1) Can we both say "猴子尾巴” and “猴子的尾巴”? Is it possible to omit 的? 2) Why don't they use "很” in the sencence “猴子尾巴长。”, i.e., why don't they say “猴子(的)尾巴很长。”？ 3) It's the first time when I've encountered the grammatical structure "adjective + 有 + adjective" (as in the 3rd and the 4th sentences). When do you normally use this structure and what does it mean? Thank you!
