Solitons which have the form of a vortex-antivortex pair have recently been found in the Landau-Lifshitz equation which is the standard model for the ferromagnet. We simulate numerically head-on collisions of two vortex-antivortex pairs and observe a right angle scattering pattern. We offer a resolution of this highly nontrivial dynamical behavior by examining the Hamiltonian structure of the model, specifically the linear momentum of the two solitons. We further investigate the dynamics of vortices in a modified nonlinear sigma-model which arises in the description of antiferromagnets. We confirm numerically that a robust feature of the dynamics is the right angle scattering of two vortices which collide head-on. A generalization of our theory is given for this model which offers arguments towards an understanding of the observed dynamical behavior.
